End of dream 1st set of wheels then! All about how risky you are.......it takes 10 yrs plus having done 100K miles before the insurance people reckon your truly worth the punt as a customer....and NOBODY knows more about risk and life generally than insurers and actuaries!!!

It was a cabriolet, and I too have been looking at a MK1 RS Turbo. Went to see one with just 20k on the clocks and like new...still it was £14k!

Like many old 80's car its hard to get some trim parts etc
