In the 13's at last!.. Just

Never. It says "London" in location :)

I think this could be a spoof auction, this van has been listed again and again, and if I'm not mistaken didn't the genuine new owner post on here about something not so long ago?

that carb is a long way from the head !

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Holy crap! Just noticed where the carb is. Thats one heck of a weird setup.

Yes, he sold it legit but someone snaffled the pics and relisted it and that was a scam. Such a nice van.

Hasnt someone recently posted on here bought that van. Think they were rebuilding the box or summat??

1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

it must be fake, he has used the word 'darling' in the advert!!!

Actually i was swapping for my mini, but when i got the the meeting point it was far from as described.

It had no torque what so ever, was very quiet, i wasn't allowed to take it above 3.5k, brakes were incredibly spongy and felt like they didn't stop you, interior was not complete, you couldn't see half the dash as it wasn't lite to see what was happening, handling was not as good as expected, infact i reckon my mini on koni's and cones with 048r's was better.

AVOID its worth 2-3k tops

Maybe you should take your styling ideas off the French instead! "

Some very different views around!!

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt... Then it's hilarious!

In all fairness, i fell for that too, but having seen it in the flesh and driven it, i would say confidently there is something quite wrong with that car

I'm always suspicious when I see descriptions without any formatting like that!

I remember then thread now.

I still love that van.

juts been looking at the suspension in that top ebay link

Has he just bodged some springs onto a set of std bilsteins to make some homebrew coil overs?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

It doesn't handle as well as my cooper sport, or go as well, i was very suprised to say the least.
