It was on Autotrader at the start of this year, that's where I've seen it.

This one is a new spot though:-

late series 2 with a black interior.... could be a good project for someone if it hasn't got the usual rust in the shell

looks fairly ok, from what you can see in the pics.
cheap too. i am sure the carb could be setup to run properly easily enough.

hiding something? or preventing it from happening? our good old friend mr rust. :lol:
but it does look good in black. just went on and spotted it, i thought for a moment someone
had spotted it on here and posted a link.

so that's a few fbs on ebay and i thought they were starting to get scarce!

A918FLO Series 2 just surfaced on Retro Rides, Dave. I assume you have it already, the buyer said he got it off eBay recently. I pointed him in our direction here. He says the car has been fitted with a Janspeed turbo conversion at some point, now missing, and still has Janspeed exhaust and boost gauge fitted. Sounds like an interesting thing, hopefully I can get some more details and pics from him

sounds like an interesting car..... what is it with these Janspeed turbos? that's at least 2 that we know of now that have had the turbos removed and returned to n/a
Are there any around that are actually still intact and running the turbo setup? I'd like to think so..... apparently they were pretty rapid..... perhaps at the expense of reliability

Yes, I picked up FLO on ebay but it would be handy to have a rough location sometime and a new owner name (or alias if they prefer).
