Nice Dale, she will be well looked after in your hands as well! I found my rev4 n/a to be lacking in punch to my rev1 with no cat, no abs, no p/s, it was more torquier

I always remember the earlier revision n/a's felt much better than the later revisions. When my rev4 still had it's original engine in, it was completely underwhelming.

Maybe the later rev4/5 which have the EGR stuff that robs it of a bit of power, combined with the heaviest shell means it's a bit lacklustre compared to the rev1+2's? :-k

Strange as the rev4/5 had 168 as opposed to 158bhp of the rev1, but it always flet as flat as a fart :-k

I too thought this colour was only on imports. So far I have only seen 1 other turbo and a BEAMS one, both of which are imports.
I have had mine 7 years now and just put it back on the road after a winter hibernation. I still just love the colour.
