Default RED Series 1 Turbo

Hi

My mate has just purchased a Series 1 turbo and he is looking for some info on the car.

he has been told by the seller that the car was featured in several mags over the space of a few year,

the car is semi restored and needs very little to complete, however there is no number plate with the car or V5, but the seller stated that the car was a feature car

the car was red at one point....not many in red i believe, it is all chromed under the engine bay and shafts, servo etc all chromed....

he has been told the car reg is B119, but thats it, any one able to assist and shed some light on this car

thanks

Be careful, there was a red one knocking about with the reg ending KEV a few years back that was by all accounts a ringer.

Had been built to what looked like a good standard, chrome under bonnet and iirc leather trim, but was an early shell with a later reg stuck on it, can be spotted by the early strut tops.

May not be the same car but just make sure you arent buying a car that is pretty much fit for breaking for legal reasons.

Affirmative.

It wont be a real Red one though - the likes of your mate happening upon a red S1 without someone in the RS world being aware it was for sale is sooooooooooooooo unlikely it's un real.
