Cut and paste from ebay then. The numbers in the description.
It's alright but sod keeping that in fuel at the moment.

That is not a Turbo X! Fundamentally the same but it may not have been specified with the eLSD and, crucially, it is not black with the Turbo X trim pieces.

The Turbo X is more desirable by far than a V6 XWD due to the limited numbers that they were built in.

Listed as V6 XWD 4 DOOR SALOON on tax site, so I definitely stand corrected, Thank You for the info.
Sorry if I have mislead anyone, have to say I still like it at (possibly) less than £4k...

The missing wheel cap will be a real pain to source.

I have solved the fuel problem on my Turbo X, by buying a 2.0 Aero vert to use daily instead!

If I keep both and use the Turbo X as the occasional vehicle then the Aero will pay for itself and break even in about a year.

No need to apologise, the Turbo X is a rare beast. :)

The advert's not great.

Lists the wheels as 17in for a start, but it also claims to have the business pack, which if true would have given bluetooth phone connection. So why has a parrot been fitted?


It's also full of bad English, spelling, abbreviations and punctuation. I can normally cope ok with most bad adverts, but I really struggled to follow the meaning in places.
