for Oranoco:

This car has been a lot of fun over the last 5 years, many a scooby left for dead! Reluctant sale due to leaving the country, so she has been left un-driven for over a year. A lot of money spent getting her up to speed but has been well spent and enjoyed - approx. 200BHP, 0-60 mph 6.7 secs and in excess of 140mph.

ENGINE

- standard engine lightened & bored out to 1.9, with 2 twin 34mm weber carburettors, K&N also fitted.

- head skimmed, ported and polished.

- full magnex s/s exhaust & manifold.

- fast flow petrol pump, with spare mechanical pump.

- fuel cut off switch

KIT

- full rattlesnake body kit - professionally fitted.

- quad headlight conversion.

- rs cosworth spoiler with standard rs turbo spoiler fitted aswell.

-15" rs turbo flick alloys, with brand new tyres.

- rs interior, although needs a little tlc

- tinted windows & sunroof

- white dials

- no tax or mot, has not been driven since last mot

Although this car has been sat around not doing alot for the past year or so, its going to take very little effort to get this machine back up to its former glory and make someone very happy! Serious offers only, no time wasters and no tyre kickers, please!

a rattle snake kit with a cossie spoiler and what look like stick on vents

200 Bhp is probably a little optomistic IMO

Looks like the Turbo Technics xr3i Turbo

I like the kit just not the spoilers.

What is it worth?

Oh please, the most powerful XR3 I have ever heard of and actually seen the power graph to was 184bhp. Was running Webba Alpha and could rev to 8k.

Show me the power chart, THEN i'll believe it.
