Damn, probably stacked it on the way home from the dealer. Maybe they thought release agent on tyre was a myth? 😂

So good that the previous owner px’d (for probably a few hundred quid) to get rid!

There used to be a YB powered Transit that competed at Ten of the Best a few times. No idea what power it was running but it finished surprisingly high in all 3 categories (drag, handling and top speed) and usually ended up in the top 10 overall. I always thought it was pretty cool.

Bearing in mind you can put a 1 in front of that price for a good one it seems reasonable and looks pretty good to start with anyway.

I think that looks great, and the Turbos are a masterstroke.

I think that’s the first time I’ve ever read an eBay ad for a cheap modified car with good spelling and grammar.
How about not having a sig at all?

I still kind of want a late BX 16v in black. They looked so cool, and I still remember the ad that claimed Marcello Gandini used on as his daily driver.

Illegal tints on windows and lights, wanker plate, probably undeclared mods to the insurance company. Hatrick!
