Adam's right - they have an unreliable 4x4 system, its usually the transfer box that breaks though. Many of them have been converted to fwd only.<br>
<br>
They are Vauxhall's sierra cosworth although the sierra can whoop them in virtually every respect.<br>
<br>
But they are quick cars, in a straight line they can hit 150mph, and due to having completely different rear suspension to a normal cav they nearly handle well unlike every other understeering Vauxhall of the era.<br>
<br>
I've still got my mind on sticking the turbo engine in my Dolly one day.<br>

<br>
Featherweight 1974 Dolomite Sprint - Soon to be XE'd, NOS'd, Megasquirted and 5 linked Lash up to scare myself (and my wallet) senseless<br>
<br>
2004 Smart Roadster (company car!!) - 698cc of turbo'd adrenaline fuelled rollerskate - destined to classic status thanks to Daimler Chrysler bean counters.<br>
<br>
1997 Audi A4 2.6 to chill out after the above and fill with baby products.....<br>
<br>
2005 Trek 1400 (ok its not a car but still fast) - <br>
a bit like Lance Armstrong but slower and fatter</p><i></i>

thanks smifters i think i will give that info a miss on the listing.<br>

I bid and 11 watchers so far.

With Smifter on this, a mate broke a four year old one some years ago as Vaux wanted over three grand for the transfer box. It was on its second......!

lots of intrest, some bloke wants to come from birmingham and pay cash before auction ends. (freshly printed £100 notes probably).<br>
