Just needs some bunting and prices in the windows to complete the look.

Assuming this was the reference, which one is which? i.e the P1, 916, La Ferrari?

Mark Wadsworth said...

BJ, sod that. What's wrong with the holy trinity of affordable mass produced roadsters? The speed limit in this country is 70 mph.

Mark Wadsworth said...

... and those three aren't even soft top or targa top.

Why?

Mark Wadsworth said...

L, why what?

benj said...

@MW

The 916 is a targa.

Any chance of a car review comparing the pros and cons of your "trinity"?

Robin Smith said...

Why don't you use the street or pavement for parking, for free?

Mark Wadsworth said...

BJ, maybe it is.

I will do the comparison when I have had the Del Sol sorted out properly.

RS, on street is not free, it's £80 per car. Drive is free and I prefer it anyway.

Mark Wadsworth said...

BJ, the old 914 or 916 were targa tops. The new 918 is also targa. That's me told.

Lola said...

Your answer should have been 'because'.

If you can get hold of a 914 or even better 916 at cheap money, buy it. They will appreciate.

Mark Wadsworth said...

L "at cheap money", there's the problem.

A local mechanic has been 'restoring' a black one for years, he's not getting anywhere. Rear badges removed so I don't know if it is a 914 or a 916.

Classic Japanese cars are defo the way forward. Shows thinking outside the box :)

Mark Wadsworth said...

BJ, the strange thing about del sols is that there are only about 300 left in the UK.

benj said...

@MW

Was there many in the first place?

So you've gone front engine RWD, front engine FWD and a mid/rear. Is that on purpose?



Mark Wadsworth said...

BJ, yes and yes.

One auto, one rear-mid, one fwd, all I need is a normal car.
