May 1, 201114 yr Moderator Collectible but I hope you have deep pockets if things go wrong. Linky 1 Linky 2 Linky 3 Lots of info
May 1, 201114 yr 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
May 1, 201114 yr Author 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
May 1, 201114 yr Well, good luck, and if ye get it-get yer pics oot it is a (IMHO) a great looking bike
May 1, 201114 yr Moderator ................. 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.
May 2, 201113 yr Author Oh I won't be riding it back, taking the sportage up with a trailer on the back,
May 2, 201113 yr Moderator don't lose interest with this bike will you Foams? should be a good build and if you have a spare turbo, I'll take one for my xs
May 2, 201113 yr don't lose interest with this bike will you Foams? should be a good build and if you have a spare turbo, I'll take one for my xs Yes Foamy, finish this properly and you have a reasonably desirable, appreciating classic.
May 2, 201113 yr Author 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
May 2, 201113 yr Moderator ............................. Think how much street cred that will give me at the mcdonalds car park!.................. Whens that, leaving work 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 If you can do a good restore, it should be a very good classic to run.
May 2, 201113 yr Author Bet your ass I will bwj!, will be a couple of months before I start as am out of the country for two months
May 2, 201113 yr Got it for a good price Foamy. Dont leave us to long without a pic when ya picl her up
May 2, 201113 yr Author Oh, and I don't work at mcds', that's just where all the rudebois meet to race there 1 litre saxos up the dual carriageway
May 2, 201113 yr Author 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!
