HOW TO GET ONE IN YOUR GARAGE
An owner’s view
DAVID GREEN
“I own four Biturbos, and I love them. The model has a reputation for rust and poor build quality, but in my view, it was a victim of neglect. The engine was too advanced, panels were welded on rather than bolted and there were few dealers, so cars were run into the ground. They were never intended for Britain’s roads: muck gets flung up behind the headlights and corrosion takes hold. Keep the area clean and rust-proofed and it will be fine. My daily driver is a 2.5 coupé. It’s quick, reliable and rust-free. Prices are rising, so buy a good Biturbo for the right money and you will have an appreciating classic.”
