Great chassis and an interesting 3 litre 16V 4 pot but ultimately a little underpowered @ only 240 bhp.
This was readdressed few years later with a 5 litre V8 Pork 928 with 330 bhp which was my all time dream car since I was 4

When you first passed your test what cars did you lust over but could not quite afford. I am not talking about dream cars, e.g. Lambo, etc but cars just out of reach.

For me it was the Renault Gordini & Alfasud.

For me it was VW Golf MK2 GTi 16V (next door neighbours had 2 from New his a 16V 3 door & hers an 8V 5 door, both 1991 Big bumper models in Black
I could (just about) scarape enough cash for an early, small bumper 8 valver GTi but the insurance for a 17 year old living in central London with only streat parking was about three times the price of the car which ultimately ended that little dream. Since then I've must have owned about 10 MK2 Golf GTis Here's a pix of one of the better ones.

Love that 968 especially Matt

The closest I came was a 900s saloon in my early 20's, I loved that car even though I never looked after it

Cheers Jeff it was a particularly great example but as I later realised 240 bhp just wasn't enough for me U know what they say... "Power corrupts"
BTW my second car (first VERY sensible car) was a Classic shape SAAB 900i... but a TURBO 8V with epic Turbo lug and yes T16S was also a dream at the time but they were big bucks in the 90's thanks to a certain Trend at the time. Pic below of my Golden Swedish wonder

Well I bet it was quicker than my 8v saloon. It had a "5 Speed" badge sitting proudly on the back too


I nearly went to look at a 2-door sedan 900 T16S a couple of years ago, but then this popped up for sale and knew it had to be bought. It would have been getting sold to its first owner when I started to learn to drive

Nice Matt. An insurance quote of £7k meant the Turbo stayed a dream for me back then
