    Driving into Bantry this morning and met a red Triumph Vitesse coming against me. Looked absolutely brilliant.

    Love the Mazda, it looks spotless and original wheel trims and everything. 94 must be quite late for that shape too. And the ZS rreg Bluebird is brilliant, I actually know of one (ZS reg also) that has been sitting for years.

    I remember those.
    Everyone used to be raving how good the engines were.
    Wasn't it those exact engines Opel used in the Corsa 1.5d ?
