    Turbo 2? Where to find one?

    Hi all, looks like my divorce and settlement should be sorted in a few months time and I think I want another project when it all comes through.

    The plan is to find a turbo2 or turbo1 project, preferably complete but not essential.

    There are a few overpriced ones on car and classic, but no projects.

    Anyone got any suggestions where to look? I thought I had better start looking now as I know they are hard to find.

    If you're after a project, it could be an idea to contact a guy known as Maxi Man (Mark Wicks). He has all sorts of stuff 5 Turbo related.

    Hi guys, so who is this Maxi Man? Amy contact details?

    As for price I am after a project, and not sure which direction to take... Either full race with all the TDC trimmings or an OE minter with a few tweaks, it all depends on what I find.

    Price wise I know what a decent one is worth and think that circa 20k is reasonable for an average one, complete with all the trimmings.

    Hi I've been looking now for a good few months. For 20k you are very unlikely to get anything. Turbo 1s are fetching 40k upwards and turbo 2s are creeping up tht way. Only one I saw which sold for 20 was back last year at auction and needed a fair bit of work to get it up to scratch.

    i havent seen or heard of any that are any good going for less than £25k. 'project cars' are very rare these days as everyone knows their worth.
    Maximan - aka Mark Wicks lives down in Brasted near Westerham / Sevenoaks area.
    i'll pm you his number
