Good find, I would assume 180-200-ish? - looks a bit shabby under the bonnet........

I agree you would think with the money spent on the mods he would keep it clean. My work car looks better under the hood than that. The pipes look particularly nasty. I imagine there is a few surprises for free with that one

WOW great find I did not know that someone had a turbo B in the UK. As LRB said for such an expensive mod the engine bay is a real let down.

Looks a bit 'Barnes Wallace', would like to know how many sets of tyres it goes through in a month!

Depending on condition somebody got this for a good price I reckon £3750

If that was as good as it looked that price was a steal!

Nice yellow one, fully specc'd for a reasonable price............

yep £3750 that my friends is the bargain of the year especially with a hard to thrown in. Someone is a lucky chap

I drove up to peterborough yesterday to have a look at this B.

Its not bad, It is a good straight original car. The first owner did the turbo conversion here in England at Auto delta in finchely London at a cost of just under £4000. then it was owned by an italian lady from Reigate and now it former owner.

The turbo is by novitec and assume the parts where sent here and then built. Looks like it could have been there from the factory.

The good bit. The car is in exelent condition inside and has been serviced regulary, The guy is a working proffessional and not the type to polish up bolts and stuff. A good jet wash, polish and elbow grease and this B would come up well.

The best bit.
We go out for a test run,

Good power from standstill, nice torque and supprisingly smooth. SHCOOOL!!! whistles the waste gate as you change up.

What a difference a turbo makes.

Now i would consider buying this B for it engine and then resale as a standard B.

It straight, low owners with full history and paperwork for it turbo conversion.

These guys must be dreaming!

Can't believe they think they will get £11697 for a 4 year old barchetta!

STOP PRESS:

Carbon fibre strut brace cheaper than steel or alloy !!!

I have asked the seller the following:

Is is adjustable ? Will it fit ABS and non ABS cars ?

Do you have a better picture you could post?Any thoughts from the rest of the Forum before I make a purchase ?

Nice find I hope its as good as it sounds.

erm.. is it me? or am i the only one that has doubts about the suitability of a carbonfibre bar to handle tensile forces ?

its probably one of those cheap alu ones wrapped in CF look plasticsheet
