i found this

As i have never heard of this car before, i found it quite interesting!
im sure std fuego turbo's where 1600cc turbo. i asked a few questions in the past ragarding the std engines in the past and i found alot where say that the engine is pants!
in the link above it looks like the guys fitted a 21 turbo engine into the fuego? is it..?
A red French specification Fuego Turbo appears in the 1985 James Bond movie A View to a Kill, while a 1982 U.S. specification metallic grey Fuego Turbo appears in the 1995 GoldenEye and 1997 The World is Not Enough films.
In the episode 'Chariot of Gold' of Knight Rider, a red Fuego plays a part.
Brilliant
been to see the red fuego, its amazing, its certainly not mint, full of battle scars but absoluotly no rot. its totally standard i think! its says turbo down the side of the car , is this original? it looks it. i offered him 1 000 pounds, but it didnt cut any ice, was i insulting the guy or what?
he also reckoned it had a 1400 motor same as gtt, is this true, i didnt up the bonnet should have really!
no its a 1600 turbo
have you not re-read any of this thread?
as stated they are 1600cc turbos.
if its a clean one i wouldnt have gone over £500 notes to be honest, but that me..bargain hunter
i think that was a very good offer , its a rare car , and in good condition , straight and clean and moted , i wouldnt offer anymore than a grand
yeah ive read what people have said thats why i thought it was strange for him to say 1400cc, hes a mechanic so i didnt question it, hes obviously wrong
i just read that back and it didnt say what i ment it too ,,
attempt 2 lol
the guy should have bitten your hand off if you offered that much ,, its a rare car but no value in them the now ,, mine cost 200 c reg, black, near mint history and 80000 on the clock , no mot though had just run out ,, ifs it like you say then no more than a few hundred ,, and check the GEARBOX
bloody hell fella, you didnt look under the bonnet!?!
yup it's def a 21 turbo lump i should know i had one for 5 years and spent most of my nights under the bonnet LOL
no i offered him a grand which was a lot, i just fell in love with the car!, but once he never bit at that i didnt see much point in going any further
i remember once looking at a black fuego turbo when i was younger, but the insurance was a killer for a young lad!
these are serious retro cool and need some rtoc love i think.
pics as requested
another
proves it was the best colouranotherno rot here, and it aint been sprayed
each to there own , i like black as well. raider blue has grown on me too

i like black ones as well but the others seem to rot far worse than the tungy ones, it must be a good mix of paint, i looked at loads and the tungy ones were always a bit cleaner than the rest
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
i've had 2
yes they are 1600cc
say - i sold one last winter, black, c plate needed the osf jacking point welding for £250
they aren't worth a lot of money and most bits you can't get for them!
but if anyone wants to make me an offer on 2 brand new front wings for one - feel free
