Ok,thanks to popular demand,ok,40 or so people,i've been encouraged to add more pictures-this is almost like an epitaph before she gets her T04...Lets start with a close up of the air filter:)

Did it come with a turbo, or did you have it fitted?

I want 1!

I'll give you the full story-i had the normal carb'd 12a until 79k miles,until she lost a rotor on the m27.i was on my way to visit my parents,whose house just happens to be about 25 miles from RX Motors in Dorset.Being as i had been using Tim and his crews talents for quite a while,he offered me a choice of engines;another 12a,a 13b...or a 12a turbo with fuel injection!Naturally,i went for the latter,being as it was my long term goal anyway,but it happened a few months earlier than i'd anticipated!I've forgotten how much Tim charges for a whole 12a turbo set up,somewhere in the region of £1500,i think.So to cut my epic story short,no,it didn't come with this engine,and there are only 4 or 5 in the country to my knowledge,and he has 2 of them!I may some of these parts for sale in the future when i fit my T04,i'll let you know if you're interested...i remember seeing your car on ebay last week,very pretty,i'm not keen on big wheels though.Well,i have to say something,your car's in much better condition than mine!:( :)

Yeah, I think you're right bout the wheels. Quite fancy 15 or 16'' minilights.

Whats a 12b? Gen2 motor?

Id be interested in turbo parts if it ever comes up.
