The one with a blue stripe is a G60 limited, I only used that pic as the normal G60 looks the same as the big bumper GTi.
Not sure how much power they had though, but there's one on ebay at the moment which is the only one officially imported into the country.

8v's a bit sluggish but still plenty usable power, id expect a good 16v to be on par with your 106.
I like 6n2 polo gti's, think a good Mk2 would be nicer though.

How much Robin?? That sounds as appealing to me as a month in the playboy mansion would to Dave17.

It was pretty much the same... same mounts etc, still used the original box..
Mine had a 286 cam (I think it was 286), vernier and some other stuff... torque was amazing and it had the coolest tickover ever!!! Didnt go much better than a bogo 8v but it used to pull them in mid 3rd gear something stupid...
You can get better power from the short blocks I've heard but it was kinda cool having the tall block just to be different..
