My new car to add to the collection

[lee1707]

Collected my 1984 Turbo 2 over the weekend to add to my slowly growing car collection.
12,000kms from new, Original Radbourne Racing press car from 1984 with various press and magazine articles. 98% original with just a devil exhaust.

Epic!!!!!!!!! :yeah::yeah:

Nice!

To be honest, Devil was probably the closest to OE that you can get. And rarer now too!

I wouldn't knock it for that!

gorgeous:)

Thanks Matt,
I got the standard exhaust also in a box with some other items. what a weight for such a short back box though!

Should be with John Price next week for a tune and general tidy up with it being in storage for so long.

Dre, have you got an update for us? How did the service go?

Well due to work commitments overseas the car has been parked up in the garage until 2 weeks ago. Took the fuel system off to send to KMI fuel injection specialists for service and set up. After advice from Royal Mail, it was sent next day recorded...... As you can guess never made it to its destination. I have since found out it has been classed as hazardous goods and unsafe for shipping. Of course it was safe enough to go from central Scotland across the Irish Sea to Belfast where they have since told me. After inspection, a letter will be sent to me to determin if it has been sent on or destroyed... Unsafe to ship south but safe enough to cart across to norther Ireland. Fingers crossed TNT can collect tomorrow and continue it on its journey.
Other than that I have not managed to fit the new bearings, bushes and suspension arms yet. Perhaps next year at this rate
