Here is Car & Driver article that explains: http://www. sportmachines. com/wiki/Car+and+Driver+March+1992 To this day. the Typhoon retains legions of loyal fans but with fewer than 5. 00 built. they’ve become very thin on the ground and difficult to find in well-cared-for condition. Typhoon glory days are at least two decades behind us. and the years since have generally been unkind in the hands of juveniles and second hand owners. Nicely preserved or fully refurbished examples are highly sought after today. They are the ones true collectors lust for. It'd be a nice surprise to find an example of the species that. despite being over 2 decades old. still looks BETTER than the day it rolled off the showroom floor.
