Wow - absolutely stunning. Normally I wouldn't like those wheels, they work as a complete package.

Such a beautiful exterior with a bland interior. That car needs to spend some time in Paul Champagne's shop.

throw on a new timing belt , change out the fluids and a new set of tires,
and drive the wee out of it.
Great lookin car, Eric has a point the interior could use some special seat covers

Looking at the interior, the steering wheel seems to be taken from a chevy pick-up truck ...

[QUOTE=Hacker-Pschorr;8144586]Stimulated sheep skin?

Eric I was thinking of those Pasha textured seat covers done in leather,
a very unique finish.
Not Stimulated sheepskin

No drivers side bag either as its early '91 MY car. LHD ROW cars got standard airbag in February 1991 meaning over half of the the MY production was bagless. Before being made standard bags were available in early '91 MY as very expensive and thus rare option.

In RHD cars only drivers side bag was ever available.

I am with Tony, never liked that rear hatch treatment and that steering wheel is HIDEOUS! Other than that I LOVE the car! That would be one I'd LOVE to own! It would cost about $13k to import it in to the US...at LEAST! Not sure about airbag requirements here in the US for '91, but it would get a lot more expensive quickly if you had to retro those bad boys in! OUCH!

I think that the exterior looks awesome. I am not sure if I like the headlights but I am sure they would grow on me If I owned one.

The fat/wide body really turns me on, I just love it.
I dont think I would mod the body on my car but I like the looks of the Strosek.

Very nice!!
That color really completes the package.
Yes the interior could use some help and that steering wheel is all wrong but a very nice car that would be sure to turn heads.
