(G) E629 Bjo

Hey,

Was reminiscing about the 'good old days' when my parents were looking to buy a new car. They almost went for a Strada 130TC but they went bought a brand new (Black) Uno Turbo instead....

So I was wondering if anyone here had come across it (or the remains of it)...

E629 BJO sold in Banbury, Oxfordshire around 1993 ?

That car was awesome. My dad made a point of never using the turbo when it was either warming up or cooling down, but boy did it fly!

I don't suppose it's still alive is it?

Just checked on here, and the car is NOT currently insured

You can also look on the DVLA website to see when it was last taxed. I can't remember the website address though!

doesn't look hopeful, however, this is prob the best place to see if she still lives.

also turbo collective forum is a pretty good place for it.

I bought an 88 Uno turbo in 2000. I bought it off a guy that did less that 10,000km in 6 years. It had sat in his garage unused for 2 years when I bought it, It had only 88km on the clock by then. I got it back on the road.

Around 2002, when I was at an Auto parts store, the 2nd owner of the car saw it. He came and found me, explaining how happy he was to see it driving around. He use to see it all the time when the previous owners had it, but not for the last 5 years so he though it was history. This guy bought it with 6800km on the clock in 1989, sold it in 1993. It must of really made his day.

Due to rust I scrapped the car in 2004. The engine had only done 125km by that stage. I fitted it to my Mk2 Uno turbo and its still in there today.

I thought it was unlikely she lived, but thanks for the links you guys...I now have to go through all my old reg nos!

This doesn't necessarily mean the car is scrapped, could well be in a garage or field somewhere but doesn't really bode well.
