Colt Lancer 2000 Turbo c1981
Discussion
Have been in contact with the Lancer Turbo Register and a car I sold about six years ago is still apparently the best example of the type and is "99.99%" not for sale.
Really want a superb car, so does anyone know of any standard or BBR time warp Lancer? I once heard that Jo Macari had a keeper, but who knows?

Should have hung onto the last one.
The power figures sound really lame now - 170 BHP as std, but what turned me on about it was reading Car and Car Conversions mag when I was 14 and hearing the car described in a second hand car supplement as one in in which "a lot of young hero's have come to grief in this vehicle.....usually in a hedge backwards".
Well had to have one (well a few) after that write-up.

As you probably already know Darin used to be the guy to source one of these. I love them as well but they were rare even back in the 80s - last one I saw was back at the Cosford Breakfast Club but before that the old Gp B Car club meets at Combe used to be the place to see a few together.
Years ago when I had Mk2 Escorts, one of the typists at a place I worked had a really nice one. As you say, 168bhp or thereabouts, but really rapid in 1985. I'd still love one if garage space and funds allowed
Not sure if this is any help but Nick at NR Autosport had one last time I was there, here's a link with a bit of info.

I thought you might have done .
In one of the Classics mags a couple of years back it referred to guy who had several of them. I'm sure Darin knows him but he had a nice looking one for sale on the back of the article.
Do you know how many are still on the road? Tried some of the Irish sites?
One for sale in Germany:
