If I’m not mistaken, the law is 25 years from manufacture rather than MY. So not many, if any will be available for import in 6 days.

54 HP!

A couple in Svend’s link have 1/93 registration dates. They also have only 54 HP, which...

I’ve read that there were a few built in late 92, but most of them started in Jan.

I will eventually.

Ye’, remember this is a 1992, LHD only, European city runabout.

Not a 1992 6.3 AMERICA FUCK YEAH V8, RWD, tyre squealing commie destroying USA USA USA gas guzzling mile eater.

*goes back to looking at Chasers on Goo-Net*

They are tolerable from that period.

More modern French cars have come along way.

Though occasionally there is the odd dud.

The engine family can do quite a bit more, though, with some help from a turbocharger. (Make sure to lubricate your turbocharger in garlic butter.)

Mmm, snails.

True for any engine. Your base RB had, like, 100 HP, but you give it a turbo and then hand it to a madman like Smokey Nagata, and, well...
