I`ve got a feeling TZD didn`t neccessarily mean turbo diesel. The T in a
badge on a BX certainly doesn`t neccessarily denote a turbo, it`s more like
a trim level, I think. But I`m really not all that sure.

They`re both turbos - it says so! Doug`s point was that they didn`t put the
1.9TD engine in the BX! And btw, the 1.7 and 1.8 engines in the BX are
exactly the same size - they were just referred to as both.

You`re right. TZD/TGD/TR/DTR (TRD on the mainland) are all just trim levels.
The engines are then 17, 19, Turbo.

Cool. Allow me to venture some options that everyone will /hate/.
Punto HGT, cheap for age and spec, ditto Xsara VTS - good engine, nice
handling, fucking ugly, grim interior.
MX5 1.8 Sport?
Hmmm, can you get Civic Type Rs for 6k yet?
Perhaps something not very old and MG/Rover?
406 Coupe V6 or 2.2HDi?
Celica VVTi?
