Six-cylinder Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It looks great and from my period with the 220SLi very good cars. It would give me a suitable car for the Longbridge Rally next year. So so tempted, just the usual excuses nowhere to park it, another car to insure and tax.....

flat4alfa Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yep, 1769 XUD7 for this intercooled turbo jobbie. The bigger, atmospherical plugger was XUD9 Had two of them and got 50 mpg easy, quick too, quite unlike the XUD9 ones to drive Get it bought, etc. It's in wedding white too, for autumnal events.

KruJoe Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 These XUD's have some extra goodies not found on 205's, BX's etc., such as the front mounted inter-cooler and oil cooler.They can be Bosch'd for vegness, (you'd need injectors too), or the 1.9 will drop right in, and you can keep the goodies All the bits to fix this up nicely can be found within AS, including a door in the right colour...

filthyjohn Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I didn't think it'd hang around at that price. Would have made a lovely runabout while I change the engine in my 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
