Dage 935 Turbo
Discussion
I remember having a copy of Performance Car at school with a feature article about this car, it was a white 911 Turbo with a Dage conversion incl. flatnose. Is this car still around ? I think I saw it up for sale a few years ago....feeling nostalgic today, must have read that article a zillion times drooling over that car.
I also remember this article well, ( wasn't it black though?? ) espescially this bit where he had to sit in his drive waiting for the digital temp gauge to reach the required temp before he could drive the thing!!
It was the first car I can remember that could crack 10sec to 100mph, they made it out to be some kind of snarling animal but as I remember it only had just over 400bhp, how times change!!

No definitely white, I even remember the reg #... how sad is that ? TUR 80W with the spacing changed to read TUR8O W
Circa 86 there was also a great feature of a 911 Clubsport v Renault GTA V6 Turbo, I used to hanker after a Clubsport but they were always asking silly money for them and I suppose rightly so. Only about 60 RHD (correct ??) made.

Yes your right it was white, I've just found the mag. Here's one of the passages that helped turn me into the PistonHead I am today:-
"A straight half mile invites. Perhaps we could nip past two or three cars here? I slot the firm, stiff shift down into third, pull out, and poke the throttle questioningly. In reply one unseen hand hurls the car forward with the power of a celestial quater-back while another, like an invisible night club bouncer, presses me back into the seat. We're past five, six- seven cars: now we've comfortably swallowed the entire chain of them in a single straight. And that wasn't even full throttle"
I lost count of the times I read that article and wondered where I could get the then £50,000 price tag from!! Just for the record it did 0-100mph in 10.1 secs on 400bhp.
