Haha, difficult to know! Certainly not what it stands me that's for sure
It's fun to guess what a puritanical purist would think, given the amount of work in the engine bay!
That looks in some order. When did you sell it?

It went about September last year. Pictures make it look better than it was, bit rough round the edges but drove like a dream

That's insane. I swapped a blue one for a Corsa because the insurance was too dear. I had resprayed it and fitted leather RS turbo steering wheel and gear shifter. The guy then lost the immobilizer fob and ended up swapping it for a DVD player! Then that owner put it into a wall.

So do I, they aren't any better now, that car 10 year's back would have been worth a couple of grand, imo it still is!I remember when a good one was £500

A few year's back I bought a very good low mile VTS Saxo for lane rallys, £700, turned out to be a rubbish car, can't understand why they are now worth a few thousand.......they're still a rubbish car!
Car world has gone mad!

A guy in work bought a VTR a while ago, it was surprisingly cheap given recent prices. Having a noisy round it I noticed the boot was damp. I pulled back the carpets to see the rear wheels beneath. Rear arches were non existent.

O mine was a good example in every way, it's just I imagined they would be better at rallying. Instead I ended up with a soft, slow, unreliable car that I should have just made mint and sold on.

Aside from one or 2 saxos, most of the fwd stuff that does well on targas seems to be starlets. 106s and by extension saxos seem to have a habit of pulling driveshafts out too.
The really quick guys not only are bloody good but also have a lot more done to their cars than it appears at first glance.
I'd still love a vts, can make fairly decent improvements to power with a few breathing mods, but the pedals are genuinely too close together and too small imo to drive with any real confidence.

Did you have a look? Was very tempted when first advertised but have absolutely no need for it.

My mate still does it, he got a Puma after my Saxo saga and has had great service from Pumas. He's on his third, gearboxes go and rust kills them.

Yea I had agreed to buy it off the chap in Derry without seeing it. said I would collect it a week later when up there with work. Text me a few days later to say it was sold.
He wouldn't take a deposit off me by PayPal or bank transfer though .
