Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes

It was maintained at Lookers Stockport.

Re: Alucard7002 - Mk2b 820Si Fastback - Pic Heavy!

Looks like my classic friendly garage who changed the sump my have been a bit rustic on the old girl! You should have taken the spares turbo coupe ...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes

They are both non-turbo
