Only 60 2017 Limited Editions were released here

All manual
All with PP

Mine has:

MCA coilovers
RPF-1 rims
AVO Turbo
Bushings up its wazzo
Window tint
Numerous scratches on the front bar
Some swirl marks on the roof from when the Mrs took the car to a "car wash" place (bloody monkeys)

Sure, I could have left it stock and hoped that it appreciated in value (which it wouldn't), albeit with the additional cost of storage and insurance, but, why, the car hasn't won any world class races to give it that edge, the car is a massed produced cheap sports coupe, hell, I honestly cannot see it holding together for 20 years, even in stock form.

The twins have actually a questionable history, recall, boxer engine, rods, frontbar droop, gearbox.

Will someone want a twin in 20 years, yeap, just like people want a MGB, or a old MX5 or a AMC Pacer.

Me, I'm putting miles and scratches on mine and enjoying every minute.

This is like what I'll be driving in 20 years >
20 years is nothing I still see Hyundai Excells on the road i will be dissapointed if my 86 is not holding up as well as one of those.
