When i was shopping for Westy's about a year ago (before i bought the
"Mystery Machine"), i found a guy in Portland Maine who had a Corrado engine
in a beautiful Maroon Syncro Westy. It had a raised engine lid... but other
than that mod he reported great performance and also good gas mileage. He
said he didn't push it, just drove it like you would a Westy... but never
had to just slam his foot on the floor and steer ;-)

Was asking 22.5 for the vehicle. Had an offer by the time i found him. I
often wonder what became of that vehicle.
