At last a real car.

Hope you enjoy. Sounds like a nice example. Would be nice if it has had a 2.3 dropped in.

Lol, yeah, the T5s are pretty unreal to drive!
Took the car for a run this morning, the engine has a particular character about it that I like. The car does hold the road well and the engine purrs away, as Steve has said it's a bit lumpy in the morning!

Hi,

Nice car... Drive on the correct wheels..

Used to have the hatch version.
The engine is a de-tuned 2.0 I believe that they used in them...
Nothing to stop you undetuning it or dropping in the 2.3 turbo!!!

Hi,

Yea, as Rupert mentioned engine B200E But there was too much power (yea.. right!!!) so was tuned/toned down.

Ample opportunity for your charms there..

Nice motor. Now you can sell that silly FWD car to pay for all the uberparts for the 360 (ducks)

I'm sure you said it was a GLS saloon from 1984, which I queried as GLS's were hatchbacks so it must be a GLE. Turns out it's a GLT from 1986 onwards...........
