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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond) movie A View to a Kill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_View_to_a_Kill), while a 1982 U.S. specification metallic grey Fuego Turbo appears in the 1995 GoldenEye (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldenEye) and 1997 The World is Not Enough (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_is_Not_Enough) films.
In the episode 'Chariot of Gold' of Knight Rider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Rider), a red Fuego plays a part.
Brilliant :D Dont remember seeing them in the later films?!

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?

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

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.

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 ;)
