It’s been said more than a few times here; the Porsche 944 Turbo remains the performance bargain of 1980s German cars. Comfortable highway cruisers, solid build quality, great looks and the ability to rip your face off on boost personify the boosted and box-flared Wunderkind. If you want a collectable, right now the market is focused on the racing Turbo Cup and more potent Turbo S models, leaving the run of the mill 1986 and 1987 Turbos more affordable. They don’t come much more 80s spectacular than today’s triple white model; so will this Turbo boost your Holiday spirits and make it a White Christmas for you?

The Mercedes-Benz 500SEC diesel conversion we featured back in June is still on offer in the Netherlands. The seller, Jens, contacted us with the following information:
The Mercedes SEC diesel is stil for sale, runs fine on vegetable oil and also on diesel or a mix for more than 403,100km without any technical problems. It starts even at minus 10 degrees celsius thanks to the fuel heating filter system which first runs on battery power and later swiches to motor heat convection. I dropped the price to €6,000, because The Netherlands raised taxes to a level that is no longer interesting for me to keep this dream machine on the road. It will stay in my barn until sombody is interested. Even in ten or twenty years it will be a great car! You can contact me at jensliman65@gmail.com
