117 bhp isn't a lot for a 2 litre twin cam!

It was in '89!

No it wasn't. Even back in the 80s you'd expect more than that. That's more like the output you'd expect from an 8valve engine.

It does seem a little under stressed doesn't it?

The Vauxhall 2 litre 16V was about 160 and the VW 1.8 16V was 139.

Either way, that does look like the car that time forgot.

Massive want.

Probably rarer than a Williams now too.

That Clio looks good value, fair chance you'll see it soon for sale on KGF or the like for the double the money.

I know a guy who had a Bluebird from 1989 (brand new) until 2004 when he bought a used Rover 600.

What an anecdote!

He was a work-shy union wker.

Mega Lolz.

Got to be. Aesthetically I slightly prefer the 16V. Those wheels!



Another Renault I rather fancy

That's really nice. I think a 90s small hottish will be the next car I buy (after the one I collect tomorrow )

The Ford single cam (Pinto) injection was 120 bhp in 1986, the 1989 I4 twin cam 8v was initially 125 bhp (designed for the Granada with a broad torque curve) and the 16v (FWD RS2000 etc) was 150 bhp. Vauxhall had claimed 130bhp for their injection engine from 1986 or so, but it rarely dynoed at that.

Great colour Civic. Look at the size of it!

That wee clio is smart, but I'd have had the 1.8 rsi earlier in the thread for sentimental reasons.

I'm looking for something interesting soon, as I have a summer of sunshine (Hopefully) ahead and a desire to spend the newly extended limit on my credit card. Considering all that, this dented old beast looks like fun.

The last one will go massively over budget. But I don't care as it's cool

Is that as good as it looks?
If so I'll take it now, don't bother to wrap it

Shame it's so far away to go and view

Possibly on the modern side of things for this thread, but this really caught my affection for some reason

I generally dislike cars in white, but like the look of that. Looks like you can see the original blue showing through in the last picture though, so I'd be inclined to really check the quality of the respray and resto.

I know that toys tend to have high numbers of owners, but 11 previous will put some people off.

That's ace! You rarely see such clean one.

Very. I just tell myself that I'm browsing for the thread and then bad things happen.


Oops.

I rather like that. The e23s are proper old school to drive compared to later BMWs.

There's something appealing about this 221k mile scruffy 560. It would make a mean city car. http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...
