Cool trucks. The Syclone and Typhoon were very quick and made more than their factory quoted power.

Their spiritual predecessor was even better though, even with a smaller 3.8L turbocharged motor and RWD instead of AWD.

Always had a hankering for a Typhoon, though I couldn't remember the Syclone if I'm honest - certainly never seen on in Blighty. One of the cheaper cars in my fantasy garage but one I beg is a hoot.

ooh, Buick Grand National, one of my must own cars. Prices for those are on the up in the US too.
Not sure what all the fuss is about changing lanes in a GMC, this isnt the IAM thread is it? I can remember seeing a Cyclone at a Fast Car RWYB day back in the late 90's, took off like a absolute rocket, believe the hype - they easily hit 60 in 5 secs!

I've never come across this Motorhub outfit before, but I can't help feeling they might be trolling with some of their prices....

Nice car but 95,000 miles and thick end of £38k!!!!!!!!

AND IT'S LHD...

Please stop giving Motorhub publicity.
Not again!!!

Its such a shame they've got such a bad reputation as the amount of rare and interesting stock they seem to have would make them a PH favourite otherwise.

Someone in the money laundering department at Motorhub has eclectic taste.
Keep seeing this hinted at. And my trawls for interesting Jap cars keeps bringing me to their ads at borderline impossible prices.

Is there an external site or page someone can link to to read about exactly what everyone is hinting at?!
Google "Keighley Trade Centre"

The reason their prices are low is because they import destroyed cars from Japan because then you can't trace the history. I go for a walk around every month or two just to see some interesting stuff and laugh at the awful condition of them.
