FOR SALE - Paris blue 480 Turbo

Post by MrE » Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:10 pm

Sadly i have decided to depart with the 480. I've had her over four years and to be fair, i have really enjoyed tinkering. I'm forced to sell as i have recently bought some serious Japanense machinary :wink:

This car is no run of the mill 480, i've sent hours working on her and have invested a fair amount of money tuning etc. This car was possibly the second es in the country to be converted to a Turbo, Chrisroll1's being the possibly the first we did. Here's the bumph:

• 1.7 Petrol Turbo Engine Conversion - proffesionally checked over
• 6 months Mot & 10 months tax
• Good condition for age (No rusty arch's etc)
• Factory alarm and central locking
• Full leather
• Electric windows/ mirrors/ sunroof/ aerial & info centre
• Power steering
• Rare Palm Beach Momo steering wheel + gear knob and pedals
• Custom install - parcel shelf with 6x9 infinity's and door installs with 8" infinity's and bass cannon's
• 16â€

This has some serious modifications.
What insurance did you go with for it?

Apologises my computer is at work so couldn't get replies back sooner. Yes this is the car you saw at the birmingham meet 480rocket, no as i said i've bought another car so no swaps! I would keep her as toy if i had space as she's great fun and i've spent hours grafting away. I'm adding some links for pics - hope they work! The car is in good nic - few marks on the paint work but generally very good compared to your average 480.

Pistons machined and balanced, then sent for metal spraying and remachining to size. Then head and pistons ceramic coated for protection from melting.

That is a stunning car! Now, if this had been for sale a year ago...however as goergeous as yours is, theres no parting with the GT now.

But a truly brilliant job and definately something to be proud of!! :hopping:
