ERA Turbo Forum

Hiya, Just thought I would put some pics up of my ERA. Its a UK spec ERA that was exported to Japan from new. It was imported back to the UK in 2004. I have owned the car for two months and am very pleased with the general condition. The Japaneese climate has really preserved the bits that usually g...

To be honest all the missing bits are reasonably easy to get hold of. The main bits like the seats, grille, dash, bodykit etc are there. It might be worth a punt if it's cheap but the bidding already looks strong.

I e-mailed the seller on pistonheads and this is the responce I got. > Hiya, > > I notice this is the mini that was for sale by GC Motors for a long time.

Halfords had the correct BRG when I went in. There only seemed to be the choise of BRG Pearl which was for 1997 on minis or BRG Metalic. Seems to colour match fine with my car.

Hiya, I notice F70 BVP is for sale again very quickly after having been sold by GC Motors who had the car for ten years. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/834267.htm Seems a bit odd to be back up for sale again so quickly. It does however look like its had a good clean compared to when I saw it in No...

Ive just booked accomodation and tickets for myself and father in law who will be taking his mayfair on the run. Ive not done the run for a few years but it always used to be good fun wit...
