Sorry, that wasn't what I meant. A 4wd. I think it might have been an Alfa GT...? I do remember he took some stick about reliability issues, but was back a year or two later and quite happy with it.

F type convertible was considered, but zero luggage space ruled it out. Merc SL63, great engine but to big to be hustled around the Alpine Passes of Europe! More a Boulevard cruiser then a sportscar!

Suppose it sort of is, but I could never get on with how it looks with roof up, a curiously ugly design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I feel about 4wd cars, never really saw their advantage unless you regularly driv in adverse weather conditions. But no, it's not 4 a wheel drive!

Menoporsche Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hang on - you've gone to the dark side by selling a 981 GTS and getting a 981 in its place? Now that's a limited viewpoint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 C'mon guys, narrowed down to very few possibilities now... Just to recap, open topped sportscar, the dark side, but not Beemer, Audi, Merc or Japanese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 OK the 718 would explain the dark side. I struggle with a Spyder, not sure he'd like the roof for Grand Touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
