I think Ford have missed a trick by not putting the 125bhp 1.0 ecoboost from the Fiesta ZS into the Ka with a subtle body kit, sporty seats and making it a new SportKa.
That wasn't an insult, Max Power in it's earlier days was actually about cars with decent engine mods that were lowered with alloys and a respray for the most part. It didn't get more about lairy bodykits on 1.1 Saxos until the early 00's.
As it was the early 90's people tended to modify cars...
Get the uprated head gasket kit and it should be fine, Lotus ran the K Series in the Elise for years with no issue. They only started to get problems when MG Rover started to cut corners.
Or you could go insane and put a T16 in from the 220/420/820 turbo, the Maestro guys comfortably see around...
Heated seats in AZ, talk about redundant feature!
As it's black did it come with oven gloves to open the doors in summer? ;)
Seriously though it looks really nice and I imagine it's quite rare in the sea of trucks in Arizona.
You're right, the 125 TC was never sold in the UK as I've just read due to exhaust clearance on a rhd steering rack. Probably why there aren't any for sale.
I think they must've been an optional wheel as a quick Google shows pics of cars with both.
If you want a rare 80's Fiat hot hatch this is what you want - http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C501525
According to howmanyleft.co.uk there are 8 in the country.
Classic 80's styling too.
Nice, my Fortwo was fun to drive with only 72 bhp so I bet that's fun with almost 50% extra. Just needs a pre-facelift grille to get rid of the awful looking massive Smart badge.
I've spent a bit of time in AZ, Tempe & Glendale mainly, I have a mate that used to live there he's moved to ABQ now. Anyway I thought only OAP's & Asians drove them, real men drive something like these. ;)
Seriously though it does look nice, living in such a dry state though I would've been...
As that one seems to say 'Mattig' on the front bumper I'm going to hazard a guess that's a Mattig kit. ;)
I remember one of the Max Power project cars was an E30 with a Rieger Testarossa kit and chequered flag decals. Ah the 90's eh?
