but that engine and those wheels would have to go!

Unless you're dropping a 24v VR6 turbo in there, I can't think of anything that'll be worth replacing the G60 for. They're great engines- if a littel fragile if abused- and can be coaxed into producing some pretty serious power. I remembe reading somewhere someone who'd hit 285whp on a G60 with a 2.0 block, race ported charger and Group N head + other mods.

So it's got a fragile engine if its abused already then some clown modified it to within an inch of it's life!

I always thought that they were a single/central wiper car.

Learn something every day.

Very pretty thing that.

VERY NICE CAR!!!!!!!

Anyway.

A friend of mine had one of these, very nice. This looks like quite a rarity, must be worth some.

Only the superchargers are fragile AFIAK. And that's only if they're not taken good care of. Still, you could always dump a Lysholm in there for an easy 225whp without propblems

quality guys!!!!

thanks for all the comments on this.

i agree the wheels are lost in the arches and its not sporting the largest of bhp but tis a superb looking machine!

there are plenty of modified rallyes out there, thats why i think this one is special being standard with such a low mileage.

FWIW I think the wheels look ace. A lot of cars these days have fking massive alloys on rubber band tyres which make the car look like a roller skate. Fair play for keeping it standard. Of all the Rallyes in this thread so far, the OP is the best.
