1. It was built after my dad was born (1966) but before I was (1993)

2. It displaces between 2 and 4 liters

3. It has a manual transmission

4. Has been sitting for 5 years in a climate controlled garage “ran when parked”

5. Has a red leather interior

6. Is about 15.5 feet long

7. Was not made by an Asian manufacturer

I’ll probably do an actual write up tomorrow but for now this could be entertaining

I’ll add some more hints if people arent getting close but another would be that it’s not a car from an Asian manufacturer

Didnt see that one coming but no. I’m also pretty sure a Biturbo has never run properly let alone ran when parked, hahaha

No TRX here, Im not even sure if the current wheels are stock or not. They look like the standard BBS but seem a little off
