Any pros/cons? How does the early 900 turbos stack up against > the 99? I used to own a 78 Turbo 3dr combi coupe (UK spec). Best car I ever owned, only car I ever regretted selling (if I could only find it again, I'd pay *a lot* to have it back). As Dave said, there's very little difference between them and early B engined 900Ts, except for a much more cramped engine bay. But they do drive quite differently, much more fun I think. The only thing to look out for when buying one is rust - everything else is relatively easy. They were quite prone to rust, so if you find a clean one, snap it up. -- Grunff
