I used to love them, we had a Subaru franchise in the 90's and I ran loads as demo's, Impreza's, Forester's and Legacy's of every type. The boss had a 22b (till he lost his licence) which if you look at the NEC auction estimate for the one they're selling I bet he wish he still had....but I dont really fancy one these days. :conf2:

There is a good looking GT4 on C&C but they just feel a bit boy racer-ish....?

I know I'm an old geezer but these days a fast car on the road is pointless and frustrating. Track days yes.

I'd rather spend money on quality, style and luxury. Even a vintage car might be fun.

JK,
check out the UR Quattros that have sold or MNM on BAT....
It is interesting to see how many did not meet reserve and most if not all are LHD so maybe not a fair comparison.....still information to consume.

Rob has a good point as I’ll be an old fart soon but yes JK a well sorted Scooby is a serious bit of kit I think one reason they are going up is because the skylines have gone stupid so people are investing in them,The VR is a good choice

This is why I mess around with Hillman Imps. So much fun for so little money and a tuned one will barely exceed 100mph.

Yes, Germany isn't known for making fast cars.........

That quattro is lovely, complex metal work apparently. I've a massive soft spot for the gt4's also. in silver with std wheels they're quite subtle also. Massively over engineered which really appeals.

there's a supercharged m5 on collecting cars....

you've had a 968 before haven't you? I loved mine, I'd have an0ther.

if you're carrying speed, they can really dance. a 4wd turbo might feel the same? Not the old Audi though, that'll feel fun.

what about a South African import Alfa? GTV looking sort of thing?

My pick would be a Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (1998-2000) (996.1)
  • Fast, but not too fast
  • Appreciating
  • Analogue driving, with a few modcons to keep you safe
  • Cable throttle and no IMS worries as per the later 996's
  • Can daily it without standing out, but still an enthusiast car
  • Reliable
