SUMMARY
One of only 51 examples and just one owner from new. Produced to celebrate the end of production, all were Jet Black with an Irmscher spoiler, BBS RX 16" alloys plus Irmscher springs and dampers.
DESCRIPTION
- The pinnacle of the Calibra range, the Turbo 4x4, arrived in 1992, sporting a low-lag C20LET 2-litre 16v Cosworth-fettled Vauxhall 'red top' engine with a KKK turbo attached and forged pistons inside, married to a 6-speed Getrag F28/6 gearbox, giving 201bhp and 207lb/ft of torque, resulting in 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 152mph
- There are now only 65 turbocharged Calibras registered for UK-road use today
- This is car #25 of 51 Calibra Turbo 4x4 Limited Edition examples produced in 1996 for the UK-market
- The appeal of the 'LE' is further bolstered by 16" BBS RX alloy wheels in a 'Champagne' hue, an Irmscher rear spoiler and suspension that sits 30mm lower than standard (courtesy of Bilstein shock absorbers, Irmscher springs and stiffer camber bushes)
- #25 has been owned by our vendor from new, it has covered a conservative 75,000 miles and has been meticulously maintained
- Recent expenditure of £4,200 on having it fully serviced/renewed, ensuring it was in fine fettle. There is a large accompanying history file, full of invoices and old MOT certificates, to help support its condition and mileage
- #25 remains in excellent condition today and is ready for its next custodian; there is much to recommend this 1990s rare and very capable sports car
