    You may be the first Bora owner in history who thinks of his car as the old dependable fall-back choice.

    I've always loved and wanted a Bora, I know that US safety legislation dictates the bumpers but they really don't enhance the back end of such a beautiful car.

    Other than the petrol prices, the cost of living, the crime rate, the weather, the people and everything else I'm glad I live in England !

    Nice!

    It's always available to owners to yank those damn things off & return back to the Euro spec.
    Like the late model Coutachs, it always amazes me why anyone would not change out those hideous front DOT bumpers (& the rears for that matter) :(

    Hey Mitchell,
    This is what a real Bora looks like, note shiny bumper and 4 exhaust pipes - are you sure yours has all its cylinders because it is missing 2 pipes? Steering wheel on the RIGHT side too in mine.
    Fabulous car and yes they are reliable, if you maintain them.
    Not a good race car though.

    Although you live in a hot climate you Aussies can be cold sometimes.

    Dr. Doll cast a new steel block and bottom bracket and is getting close to 500hp.. he was selling these at one time, very reasonable
