Alan, the 1989 Ford Probe GT Turbo

[JS1500]

It is a very Tab Clear car.

It makes me happy, keep up the good work!

I wanted to hate it... But that's a seriously cool machine.

Red turbo motif plus BBS wheels have really set it off.

Reminds me a bit of the Subaru SVX

Nice to see Alan in the metal today at a service station. He looks fantastic for his age!

Cheers! My apologies for not being in the best of moods, had to rush back to Somerset to sort a bit of a crisis, else you could have had a poke around.

No problem, mate. I sensed you wanted to get going so thought I'd leave you to it.

All the best and I hope you got your Somerset business sorted.

Wonderful. Looks like one of those generic sports cars you would find in GTA San Andreas.

I presume a lot of parts from the Mazda would fit if you find yourself in need of spares?

There are definitely some which work (an alternator belt was easy from ECP), but there were very few Mazdas ever sold with the F2T in the UK so it doesn't always help. RockAuto in the US is brilliant unlike a Ford Probe specialist in the UK who is a known con artist and does nothing but lie. Unfortunately due to PH rules I can't name them, so I can only say it's a Store for the Ford Probe in the UK.


Now I've just got to work out how to spend the prize money for getting "Reader's car of the week"

Love this. One of the best cars/ threads I have read for a while. Keep up the good work sir.

You would easily getaway with a stick on number plate on the nose somewhere. I had one on my FC. Make sure letters and spacing and reflective white background are all as legal as poss.

So the probe has a fresh MOT and an eBay special stainless backbox. It's npt running quite as smoothly as I would like though, so I'm going to give it a big service and perhaps blank off the EGR.
