Hope no-one got the wrong idea about me before. by
MeatballTurbo
The jump from a £500-£2k wasn't intended.
I just mentioned that I was used to spending sub £500 for cheap, tatty

MacIglebek
For three years, I owned a 156 2.0 Selespeed. Unfortunately, a Toyota Hiace
hit me in a front accident and totally smashed the car. Immediately after, I
replaced the car by an Audi A4 2.0FSI (shame on me) with sports suspension
and 18" rims.
Today, I had a testdrive of a used 156 MY2001, similar...

156 restyle: Last chance to buy a new future classic? by
Barry Bingham
Saw a copy of "Practical Classic Car" or some such in WHSmugs yesterday
& they were listing cars made in the last five years most likely to
become classics in x years time.
156 was top of the list, with a prediction that it would be the earlier
pre-facelift cars with original nose, interesting...

[tyres] Any experience with PZero ROSSO or Conti SC2 ? by
~DP~
I have to choose between the two tyres in object, to mount on a 156 1.8 ts
(205/55 r16), the price is similar, the Pirelli cost a little less because
they're not "fresh", they have been produced in late 2002.
Any experience , good or bad that can help me ?

2.0JTS Engine comments by
Graham W
I'm picking up my 156 2.0JTS on Tuesday.
I'm well versed with the foibles of the old TS unit, but does anyone know
how fickle the JTS engine is to type of oil, oil level, cambelt changes,
etc?
All experience gratefully received...

I know it is a 1.8, not a 2 litre, but condition and price seem
reasonable.
Don't know if I'll bid on this as I still need to sell the Saab, but
just trying to get a footing on what is worth what,...
