Thank you for visiting my web page about this legendary and mythical car. I have owned my Turbo 2 for almost 4 years. It had been sitting idle for over 10 years in a parking lot collecting dust. I had it professionally restored and had all the parts flown in from France, Uk, and the USA. It's quite difficult finding parts for this car, so if you have any questions about locating parts for your vehicle, drop me an email and I will try to assist you.
The car is located in my home country, Lebanon. Since I live and work abroad, I only get to drive it every three months when I go back for vacation. |

Unfortunately my car is up for sale. I only get to drive it every 6 months when I go back for vacation. I'm sure it can find a better home somewhere else. Offers are welcome. shipping to Europe is around $800

There is one good thing about this car though. Nail the throttle, wait for that turbo to spool , watch yourself sink deeply into the seats, and you'll forget every penny you spent on it. You'll be driving this car with the silliest grin on your face while leaving the local villagers clueless about the identity of the red ball that zapped by them at blistering speeds.

All in all, this vehicle has cost me close to $35,000 including purchase price and repairs. That's roughly 10 k more than I would have paid for a car in almost perfect condition. I had no idea that it would cost that much to repair it properly. Parts prices for this vehicle are exorbitant. If you are considering buying such a vehicle, you are better off paying a little more and buying one that is in good shape rather than to restore one. Don't think you can run it with used parts or try to modify parts to work on it. Forget it!!! The vehicle is too fussy about that. Besides, it's a shame to have such a car and not have it running with original parts. Tuning it properly can be a task aswell. Make sure you have the workshop manual and a mechanic that knows what he's doing. |
