Don't think I've ever actually seen one, Is that the same engine from the
620Ti? Was it home grown or a Honda job?

Same as the 620ti - T series I think? It's homegrown, not a Honda unit.
Honda have never made a turbo petrol AFAIK have they? They were quick cars
in their day - naturally they're Rovers though, so most are now
rotten/broken. Also, they had a nice quirk in that the chassis couldn't
really handle the power, and after a while, the chassis would end up twisted
if they were driven hard apparently. Fantastic eh :-) Also, they were
capable of the most almighty rolling wheelspins...

Well in theory but since none have ever travelled the distance to get up to
60 without breaking down, we'll never know.

Nissan 200sx S14 2.0 Turbo (95-00) 4/1998 200 146 6.4 29.1

It's certainly not that that quick to 60 as standard, I'd guess around
7.5 but with a performance exhaust and decat it probably is. It still
makes a 205 1.9 gti feel slow though as I drove a mates at weekend and
was surprised how it no longer felt quick. I remember his 1.6 feeling
quick but he assures me this 1.9 is quicker.
