Really? I can't find anything on t'interweb that says that, but it's an interesting idea.

I had always thought that to get away with the contradictory beer/car message they'd put the slogan on.

The Kaliber was indeed alcohol free, Labbatts not so, alas, it was also taste free!

Superb car, nice video! :cool:

Hard to believe todays M5 & others, have more power and no turbo!

not anywhere near as ironic as cigarette packets that have "SMOKING KILLS" on that you can only read after you've bought them

you're thinking of "Kalibre" mate.
alcohol free and, as a bonus, taste free....unless of course you like the subtle taste of a cocktail of manure and bitumen that is.

Labatts brew regular beer.

the Cosworth was the first production car to produce over 100BHP/Litre.
back then it just wasn't possible to use a high enough level of engineering whilst remaining cost effective AND reliable by road car standards on a dealer forecourt car.
