Love these
I spent a lot of time in France and Germany as a lad and these were a refreshing antidote to our Cortinas. Looking forward to seeing the thread develop.

i had one of those years ago. i put a v6 in it and slammed it to the floor with 2.8 capri wheels squeezed under the arches. also adapted an xr3i interior into it.

I do like these now, I didn't in the past. Don't know why?

Nice colour fern green

I always kinda liked these, and the Opel Commodore Coupe from around the same period. This should be easier to get parts for though....
