like DDT says very much an 'enthusiasts bike', a good buy if you can get it for a good price, would make a great long term project and investment ;)

Fairs, cheers for the info lads, it will be a long term full strip and clean/restore kinda thing, i just like the look of it... and being able to say my bike has a turbo ;)

Insurance is £415 3rd party only though :(... watch this space because tomorrow (with a bit of luck) i may be on my way to pick it up :)

I hope it stays dry for you. Just watch the brakes as it should go better than it stops. Makes for an interesting ride. Good luck.

Oh I won't be riding it back, taking the sportage up with a trailer on the back, :)

Yes Foamy, finish this properly and you have a reasonably desirable, appreciating classic.

No chance of loosing interest with this one, it has a friggin turbo! Think how much street cred that will give me at the mcdonalds car park!

Well anyway I bought it for £232.50, waiting on a time and day to pick it up :)

Whens that, leaving work :lol:

No cred with the vegans of this world. Just watch out for dropped portions of chips. Should make for interesting handling if the turbo kicks in on a dropped portion :lol:

If you can do a good restore, it should be a very good classic to run.

Well done Foamster-are you going to do a (WIP)Work In Progress for us ?

Posted

Bet your ass I will bwj!, will be a couple of months before I start as am out of the country for two months

And rest assured the camera will be waiting when I pick it up, don't expect it to be pristine though its been laid up under tarp in a garden for 10 years... But only 18k on the clock!
