Re: DeTomaso Turbo Mini Innocenti
According to the advert it's a 1984 so it's one of these ones:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenti_De_Tomaso
Quoted from above:
"In 1982, the car was renamed the 3C as the company replaced the Mini underpinnings with chassis and straight-3 cylinder engines sourced from the Daihatsu Charade. The base model was now called the Innocenti 990, while the Innocenti De Tomaso now received a turbocharged version of the 993 cc powerplant, with a diesel variant also available."

Re: DeTomaso Turbo Mini Innocenti
they are more like a 127 than a Bambino to be honest, you would see the standard 90 and 120 models more often. They come up for sale on the web quite often. I saw one in a breakers yard in Enniskillen many years ago. Body panels would be scarce enough I'd say. That price is a bit on the strong side, but then most Swiss Mini prices tend to be. €4000 would be a little more realistic.
A bit of tuning would get the bhp over 100.

Re: DeTomaso Turbo Mini Innocenti
Bigger Turbo and more fuel? just guessing here!! Id imagine some head work too and maybe a lil intercooler.
Re: DeTomaso Turbo Mini Innocenti

Re: DeTomaso Turbo Mini Innocenti
thinking sticking with original turbo as there is very little to no turbo lag and theres full boost there straight away as its only a small turbo.. will prolly get the head work done, and maybe an intercooler, no f all bout turbo engines so its all notes, cheers.kona wrote:Bigger Turbo and more fuel? just guessing here!!
