Viento for Sale
For various reasons, I never got around to selling my Viento a couple of years ago, however, I'm now ready to sell. I'm simply not using it
enough due to other commitments, and I need the garage space for other projects. It will be better in the hands of someone that will use it more.
Searching on here will reveal the build log, which received favourable comments at the time. I've just MOT'ed it today with no advisories.
It had a new clutch about 15 miles ago and I've also replaced the headlamp reflectors as they were starting to corrode
If I was keeping it, I would replace the M52 inlet manifold for the M50 one for about 30HP extra. If you really wanted to go mad with it then you
could replace the current 2.8 BMW straight 6 with an M3 engine as the mounts are the same (although the sump would need a little modification to
fit).
I know that the purists on her don't like Viento's because they are bigger than a small child's roller skate and weigh more than a wet
paper bag, but for a 6'2" person like me they are great fun and it will still out perform most factory road cars that cost a lot more
money.
These are very hard to value, so I'm not going to state a price, but if anyone would like to look then make an offer, please let me know. The
car is in NG16, 5 minutes off Junction 26 of the M1.
I've also posted this in the 'for sale' section.
