Have always fancied a nugget yellow rado :drool:
They are great cars, possibly one of the best handling FWD cars of the era and possibly even compared to modern cars.
G60 - does = potentially expensive bills £350+ for a rebuild and a lot more if it actually blows.

if you are considering a valver try and get a later 2.0 version (1992-), you get a nicer black interior in them and with a few tweeks to the engine you can approach G60 power levels plus 16v engines easy to maintain/service and not a lot more on juice compared to a 8v.

There are a series of common faults which can effect them, notably spoiler speed sensor/actuator , electric sunroofs (they tend to tilt but not slide or not move at all). other things to note a panels are difficult/expensve - front wings bonnets an bumpers.

LOL i do like yours, seen it at a few shows last year at it certainly is proper YELLOW!! There is also another nugget that attends a few shows which has MOMO alloys with red centres on it- dont like those wheels as much but its a nice example.
My uncle has a nugget yellow G60 which is a US import  - LHD, Electric seat belts, recaros, air con, cruise control, all black dash+interior - soooo want to get my hands on it but feel free to give me a holla if you want to sell.

i know the one you mean, the wheels are not to my taste but the car itself is mint.  :cool:

Your uncles is a good spec and certainly a bit different with the US spec bumpers etc, No plans to sell mine yet, just about got it looking how i want it now  :smiley:
