Default Anyone know this car?

Well I must have caught the cossie bug cos I know I aint gonna be happy till I've got an escos. Been looming around for ages now looking for a suitable one preferably not in white but this one looks a bit special.

This escos is for sale in the north east, just wondered if anyone has seen the car before or knows of its history?

Cheers

14k is the about the limit. And I'm not really in a position to travel far to look at cars, which is why this one interested me.

Well that looks good if 14k will own it,,,, seems cheap though for the mileage- but then it has been up for sale for a while...

If your serious about wanting a "proper" esc cos youve got to be in the position to travel!

Well having not owned anything like this before (have an '90s merc SL at the moment) I'll be happy with about 280bhp. I'm usually to busy for track days or whatever so a decent driveable car will see me happy.

Any threads anywhere about the tune-ability of the small turbo?

If it's running 280bhp now, you're practically at the limit that you can get a small turbo to.

Dont think its modded atall but will find out. Not interested in big power TBH. I'm happy with 280ish.

How much is does it usually cost for a big turbo conversion?
