Hi Guy's
just a quick note to introduce myself, I live down on the Eastern Algarve near Tavira but originate from Saffron Walden in dear old Blighty. Well I have just purchased my 1st 4 GTL after lurking on your site for a number of months. Been trying to get an idea on prices because cars in Portugal are horrendously expensive due to the PT Gov tax on cars, but I think I might have got a reasonable buy, just payed 1300 Euro for a 1989 GTL, 135,000 K's with MOT and Tax until the middle of next year, looks like it was resprayed about a year ago to quite a good standard and no rust in all the places you say to look. Drives well apart from wanting to stall at traffic lights and the engine hunts on tick-over, am going to have a look at the carb and see what I can discover. Apart from that the interior is in fine fettle as well. Having looked on your site I see you have another member from Portugal called Moth perhaps they could PM me and we could get to-gether and help each other out as Portugal is quite a small country. I do not have any experience with 4's but a lifetime of Race Car driving and preparation so hopefully nothing will present it's self that is not solvable.
No dout I will be back on with loads of questions so bear with me.
