This is not, strictly speaking, "old" nor - maybe - "retro" but I think it's on the cusp of both.



On the way back from the in-laws earlier, I noticed this on the forecourt. It's two minutes drive away, and I could be interested in having some flat-6 pork on the drive. Yet I know nothing about 986's apart from that the shape has aged quite well. The advert is short on pics and shorter on detail, but would there be any obvious things to look for should I go for a squint at the thing?

Bearding appreciated!

Boxster has to be an S2000 style sports car bargain that will go up one day, no?

I believe you need the Poverty Pork thread - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Lots of info there, I'd look for a 2.7 personally, the 2.5 is a little flat performance wise

As long as you have a welder and are handy with it I see no reason not to do that.....

But then again in x number of years when the daughters have learnt to drive in a modern car with all the crash protection and driver aids are you really going to want to let them drive a tiny Mini with no driver aids and all the crash protection of a soggy paper bag?
Aye, nostalgia's a wonderful thing but progress is often better. Maybe a roll cage and some upgraded brakes would be a good idea.

My wife also had one as her first car and when she used to visit me before we were married she once turned up white as a sheet having done a 540 on the M25 in the middle lane on a Friday evening. Fortunately she didn't get to test the survivability as everyone around avoided her and the following car she was now facing stopped in time.

I know what you mean, I like the E class, but the late Granada with extra chrome is very appealing.

I have one available soon.

It will be cheaper than this, with less miles.

I also posted this one in the wrong thread:





Lancia Dedra Integrale 2.0 Turbo - £2,700

From Wikipedia:

In 1991 was launched the Dedra Integrale. It used the same engine and transmission that the Delta Integrale 8v. The Delta Integrale 8v engine is one of the world's most competition proven power units, a 2-litre 4-cylinder fuel injected twin cam engine, fitted with contra-rotating balancing shafts, and a Garrett T3 turbocharger and associated inter-cooler to aid volumetric efficiency that boost power output to 171 PS (127 kW) in catalyzed version. The Dedra Integrale also uses the same permanent 4-wheel drive of the Delta Integrale, and includes the new Visco Drive 2000 traction control system. Also includes the electronically controlled suspension available as option in the 2.0 and upper versions.

When the Dedra was launched, it was a good time for Lancia: The Thema had been facelifted a year earlier, and despite being on the market for five years was selling well, the Delta (1979), thanks its continued success in competition was living a second youth, and the Y10 had a slight restyling and good sales. However, the Dedra was not a strong success outside Italy. A major facelift in 1993 did little to boost the car's sales success and the whole Lancia range including the Dedra was withdrawn from RHD markets a year later. The car, after 1993 also sold as a station wagon, remained popular on the Italian market until it was replaced by the all-new Lybra at the end of the 90s.

A total of 418,084 Dedras were manufactured during its commercial life.

Yes I know, but if you click it it says he doesnt accept emails and it doesnt let you! I assume there is a profile option you can turn on and off


Oops...
