I had a couple of friends into Italian stuff in the 80s and 90s and came across a few of those plus loads of Strada's and Uno Turbos then but I suppose they were peanuts compared to the Fiesta XR2, Escorts XR/RS, RS2000 etc

I haven't seen one in the flesh in over 20 years.

ETA - Assuming its a 131 Mirafiori Twincam

Gorgeous, but I don't think the Minilite wheels suit it. There are replicas rather than genuine Cromodora but they look brilliant:

He now has a separate build website. Hadn’t appreciated that he found a 3.2 to slot into it.

Most recent update. 322bhp from NA 3.2 sounds pretty good to me. 8-)

A/ less than a tonne
3/ And it looks awesome.

Yes please.

Would be better with a carbon side blade and on the original V8 alloys. But I love the original R8’s looks.

Normally I’d agree on carbon blade, but somehow silver on silver works! 8-)

There was a David Vivian article on a used manual V8 in Evo a few months ago. A real bargain at the mo and will only appreciate IMO.

V10 R8 with Milltek remains one of the best sounding cars I have ever heard in real-life.



I didn’t take that video - it wasn’t therefore filmed on my potato. Same bloke filmed this - unfortunately I noticed he was doing so just as I was short-shifting from 1st into 2nd....
