2.9 litre V6 24 valve Cosworth engine
I daren't post a picture of it as it was truely the most ugly car ever built, although the Fiat Multipla comes a close second. The safest way to experience it was to sit inside
After a wedding one Saturday night, I got from the Motorway service station near Newcastle to my house in Sutton (S London) in exactly 4 hours - the petrol receipt said 8:00 pm and the midnight news had just come on the radio as I turned off the ignition. I had the cruise control working at 125 . . .
No speed cameras in those days
