I disagree, especially with these awful non-original rims..

It's one of them. Frankly, there are many varients that fit that bill.

The 5-speed GTS has those nice hips and Iris Blue is my favorite color, so I would say very desirable - lots of miles though.

I agree, not the best looking rims but that's easily fixed.

Yeah... didn't mean this particular higher mileage example.

Fixed the subject title to "most desirable spec".

That 187.000 is kilometers... means about 116K miles. It's not that bad.

Most desirable spec is entirely subjective and depends on the person. There are some that have a preference for anodyne color combos (silver/black, black/black, guards red/black, etc.). There are others who prefer rare colors, PTS colors, etc. The more bespoke your tastes are, the fewer examples there are to fit the bill.

My most desirable is this 92 GTS, no sunroof.

'Most desirable'? By whom?

I don't care for the GTS in any spec; I like Mobius's original shape. Give me an OB, no roof, no rubbies, with 951 phone dials, in one of the interesting early colors. I don't care about the transmission.

GTS or 16v Euro S are the 2 models I like, preferably in the manual trans configurations, and have to be sunroof delete for the headroom so I can upgrade the seats.

Love my 84 Euro S and it's a keeper. Might be worth a manual conversion a couple decades from now when I retire if I can still buy gas for it. Will probably have 300k miles on it by then since it's my DD.

For some people I imagine it is. For me no car after the 16v run is of any interest.
