For interest, I went onto the main Aussie carsales site and looked for new twins for sale... apart from the standard placeholder new car ads, there were relatively few ads for new cars in stock, dramatically less than in recent years. Based on the reporting that production of mk1 twins was due to wrap by July, and in fact may already effectively be finished due to Covid, this leads me to speculate stock of new twins in Oz are now very low, and there may not be anymore coming.
Given the possible delay or cancellation of the GR86, also partially Covid related, it could be a long wait indeed until a new twin is readily available for sale. It’s a funny feeling entering an era when there is no new twins on sale... it’s been a feature of the affordable sportscar market for 8 years now, and it’s weird to think of a new car world without it. Obviously the used market will be healthy for years to come.
Nostalgia intensifies!
