Bought one of those new as an 'R' reg, same colour. Had the turbo tweaked slightly (circa 230bhp or so). Nice car, but woefully under tyred on the rear ... that car taught me a LOT about snap oversteer (usually whilst going sideways ...)

If I remember rightly it cost me about £23k ...

Ooh.

Indeed, definitely one of the most interesting on the thread....

That Strada is one of the best things I've seen on here. I remember back in the day, Car Magazine preferred then to the Golf Gti. I think the looks have lasted well. Which is more than you can say for 99.9% of Stradas....

The Strada is funky!

Is there any way that I can block Woodys posts

Will there ever be another saloon which looks quite so right?

W00DY - staggeringly good 164.

Please enlighten my mere Italian chinny-bum-fluff; what power plants were there?

I really like that.

I agree that this thread is dangerous. But think of what an interesting fleet you could build for the price of a new 320d!

Some 4 cylinder Twin Sparks Iirc, the fun one was the 3.0 V6 I think.

If that's still there when my MR2 sells, I WILL buy it.

I had the earlier S13 version in the 1990s. That was quite feisty at times too!

That's lovely, but the seller's blurb is pretty funny. In waxing lyrical about the design features it apparently shares with a Testarossa, he's conveniently forgetting the platform share which makes this a very close brother of the Saab 9000, Fiat Chroma and Lancia Thema.

James May welded one to a 9000 that time to make a stretch limo.

It's pretty, but not outstanding (IMHO).

I like that. It would be a cool little thing to zip around in.

That 164 has been up for sale in the last 2-3 years using the same photos, but priced at a similar level to the Abarth Strada and MG ZT V8.

I've yet to look at the M100 advert. I think they missed a trick with the ZT 260. Would pricing it at £3750 got the bidding started, or it's nonsense that a price starting with a 3 would break some psychological barrier? I'm not sure that Abarth advert is helpful having read the Coupe 16V Turbo thread on Readers' cars lastnight.

I find all of those four appealing and not particularly retro. M100s and 164s don't seem old to me.

[W00DY]

Don't know anything about these, but it looks .
