Happy reading...

Well what can I say... wow! This is a stunning car with a heap of performance.

It is like driving a 1.6 litre car, but with more torque. It's real fun round town and creates a ton of interest whereever it goes.

On long journeys it will not only keep up with the bigger cars, but also give them a run for their money.

The looks of amazment when you overtake the Saxo/ Punto/ Clio small car brigade is superb! Remember this car is 17 years old and only a 1 litre!

My car is perhaps the best condition, lowest mileage Y10 that still exists. Only 250 RHD were ever made! It has not been in the rain or driven in the winter since 1998 - that means it has been dry for the last 2190 days!

My car has also been restored beyond belief! The previous owner got it inspected by Trevor Nicosa (a Y10 racing driver and creator of the Y10 integrale!) who had this to say:

1986 D reg Y10 Turbo - all problems solved, runs very sweet. Current owner 6 years. 62000 miles, 10 months MOT remaining.

Has had windscreen scuttle replaced. Pale non-metallic blue - sort of bluey-grey colour with red Fila seats. GTie alloy wheels powder coated in dark blue. Konis on front, Gabriel shocks on rear with new stock springs all round. Front and rear electric windows, Cobra alarm with remote central locking. Serviced every 3000 miles, new exhaust, all new bushes etc.

I have to say its the best, straightest Y10 I have seen for years!

The owner has been fastidious beyond belief - removed the covers on the Fila seats to machine wash them and them stitched them back on for example!

Sounded very sweet as well - if any Y10 is worth the money, this one sure is. It also looks like a Mk2 as it has the rear smoked lights and clear front indicator lenses. Also got and front AND rear electric windows, and even the dashboard lights work correctly. If I had the money I'd buy it myself, its THAT good. Trevor.

You see I told you it was mint! The car has so much service history I would not know where to start, the best receipt however is the one for every single gasket on the whole engine - that's £150 alone; I would say that if labour at a good garage costs £20 an hour than this car has had about £15000 worth of labour on it as well as about £4000 worth of bits!

It's a brand new car in my eyes!
