I think ime on my 20 th ? now !
Bought my First one I'n 91 , was a superb 85 Le Car Turbo in White , reluctantly sold to fund a Stingray , how i wish i had kept it .
Bought my first GT Turbo I'n 93 via Loot ( remember that ? ) from a lad I'n Walthamstow . It was an 86 I'n Pearl White C400 GME , where are you now ? She had light front end damage and broken seats ( early ones were very weak ) . I repaired her, fitted a Phase 2 F Bumper and Had Lots of great drives, by far the best drive so far has to be July 93, when we set off for San Tropez , via the Somme and The Route De Napoleon , complete with 2 bikes lashed to a Halfrauds Cycle carrier .
As long as I live, I will Never Ever forget that Route De Napeon... Had the drive of my life .
I Have had 4 this year alone. Now got 2 , a Standard looking 90 I'n Glasier White with 2 Grands worth of K Tec Engine , now sign written to advertise my co and an 88 , Orig Black , now Blue with a Hot BB Tuning Engine, big Brakes, Roll Cage etc etc . This one Is For Sale .
Personally I would avoid the Over Rated Raider, No Lovely Side Decalls, a Blue that is Impossible to match, Dodgy Raider stickers on the screens, a Better Phillips Radio Cassette And that's it !!

I'm afraid I cannot agree, just look at this! Absolute perfect imo...

Clean looking car, but just doesnt do it for me . No Lovely GT Turbo Side Decalls , Colour coded alloys , Still say they are Over Priced / Over rated . I well remember stopping at A Renault dealers I'n Enfield where they had 2 new ones, must have been early 1990 . Where has the time gone !
But give me Pearl White , Silver or Black Any day . Silver is Probably the Rarest Colour now, it wasn't common when they were new , they look really good I'n Silver . A complete waster I had the misfortune to know bought 2 new Flash Red ones I'n early 89, they were impossible to start in that Summers heat . One was smashed up and written off .

I have allways wanted a Pearl White Turbo 2, any one had/ have one ? , but prices are now way too high and out of my reach now. I think I would possibly be disappointed with one now , after spending so much cash, ,particularly straight line performance .
As for as low as 6k ( but ideally 12 K ) I can be behind the wheel of something that even now 20 odd years after it's launch and 12 odd years out of production , to 100 mph is Still a Very Quick car, has stunning looks , Sounds Amazing , has a good spares and technical back up, is Very exclusive ( only 1,900 odd made and probably Only 1,200 or less left ) .
Can you guess what car I am referring to ?

Yes , she's 1 of 2 that i own .
And a big thanks to Bob at CGB . He put me in touch with the previous Owner who i got her from and has been Very helpfull suplying parts and Tech advise .
The other one is I'n the Classifieds on here , lightly modded as well , would like to keep that one to, but too many other projects .
I Love these things and have so many great memories and story's about them .

I had one back in the day when they were THE thing to have - 1990, still is in my personal top three cars I have owned. I caned it everywhere changed the oil every 2000 miles and it never let me down. Went on a driving holiday to the Isle Of Man and drove it for hours at a time flat out against a BMW 635 CSI and a new Astra GTE. It outclassed them both. It's also one of those cars that feel much quicker than they are, bit like a Fiat X1/9. Car I owned before that was a Gordini Turbo, wish I had kept that !
