Added - Another picture here, which confirms it was related to Shell. I just can't believe that anyone in their right mind would attempt an economy trial in a 3.3 litre Vauxhall! A college pal of mine had one, his dad worked for a fuel distributor and he got 10 gallons a week for free, half of which went to his son, which is probably the only way he was ever going to keep that car on the road. Even so, the way he drove it that was never going to get far, I seem to remember his best was about 15mpg but on a "fun" day it was about half that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MJI Posted November 22, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2022 Anyone see top gear hot hatch test? I was VERY disapointed the yellow car did not get a run, it would have hammered the Honda. High 200s on under a ton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.king Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Even if I'm no great fan of former Rootes/Chrysler UK products, I wondered why they almost completely avoided even looking at the "Turbot". Was it put there simply so that they could pay it the insult of being ignored? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be to do with it cost about £200,000, running bespoke throttle body injection, a competiton gearbox, and the bloke who buit the engine, built them for the WRC cars. I am a fan of the Avenger and Sunbeam. Also unlike all the others not wrong wheel drive. Edited November 22, 2022 by MJI 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
