Amazing. Thanks so much. I'll follow those up and report back here should there be anything interesting to tell!

Thanks again for replying so quickly.

Hi all. My dad and I both have very fond memories of his 16v. He reckons it was the best car he's ever had, and as a young lad in the formative years of a lifelong love of cars, it made a huge impact on me too. I'd love to be able to surprise him with the tale of what happened to it after his owners...
