Hi All

Newly joined and some might have seen my wanted for a cheapo SW but on a different note.

I know MGR did a 420 GSi Turbo 4dr, but did they do a turbo Tourer?

197bhp would be a real sleeper in a onld 400 Tourer body.

I'm sure if MGR didn't do one it should be pretty simple to do and i bet somone already has.

Just need to buy a Turbo 4dr and a 420 Tourer and swap the front running gear over, you'd end up with a 4dr 420 GSi and a Turbo Tourer, if only i had enough space.

Cheers Bean

I'd love to make my 420GSi Tourer into one, very possible. As far as I know, engine (lower compression), loom, the bit of the exhaust before the cat and ECUs are the only changes.

There is truly nothing better IMO of a sleeper lowly aged car, particularly an estate/tourer completely surprising and beating modern stuff off the lights. 200bhp in an 1100kg car will still shift amoungst many moderns!

Honestly when i take out my dad's old volvo 960 1991, looks a bit beaten up, junk in the back, roofrack, but 24v 3liter straight 6 rwd, maybe not quick on paper these days but believe me i get the better of most people by surprise! 204bhp and pretty bullet proof

On the road here, 100BHP in my 1100kg gives a number of people a good startle.
I like the idea of a 420 turbo tourer though... Mmmm.
