Could be a good buy if at the estimate of £4-6k.
Anyone know this car (reg. F353 JVS)?
Were 260's made in 1988?

No it is a 200, the 260's were not announced until the back end of '89 so deliveries probably began 1990 onwards. Additionally the road springs on this are white, (See final photo the front spring can just be seen), 260's have blue springs. This is likely to be chassis number VK8 CUP 221 89 CH 0120

This is correctly called a MVS Venturi, though it is often referred to as a 200 due to its quoted output. This models engine is apparently identical to the GTA V6 Turbo and this includes the ECU, either 501 or 502. The 260 has a bespoke ECU making the 200 model an easier car to maintain within this club/community. Gear box is also the same except there was no need to turn the final drives upside down as it is mid engine as opposed to rear engine.

I agree this was on ebay a while ago and fetched about £5k from memory. Obviously not an easy fix and they are punting it on. Needs to go to Clee for repair/resurection :up

Hi Darren,
I don't have a suitable car, but I'm doing a delivery/collect service for Marks second one (Clio V6) so I'll be there for the day....provided it is back from the garage by then...

Didn't book hotels, and they seem to be full so it'll just be for the day...
Hope to see you there (whilst I try to avoid bidding on a Venturi)

Cheers
Lee

Not me....although my bid was closer than the auctioneers attitude would have made me think. If he'd played it better he might have got a higher commission bid from me. Probably for the best just now as I have two projects and a house to do first....

Probably on the high side of just about alright without having seen it in person, though I would have personally only gone £3000 on it as even in top spec I would suggest £10000 is likely to be top money for a 200 especially as the last two sold for £10000 and £9000.

It is also very likely to need chassis work as well as the obvious stuff like paint, interior and getting the engine up and running right. Mine needed £1500 of chassis welding just after I bought it a few years back!!!!

Hi Guys,

It was me who took a punt on the Venturi. Always wanted one since my Dad had one in at work.

I can do most of the work myself but might need some help sourcing parts.

Ian,

Hi Ian

Well done on the auction, I hope the car is in better nick than my pessimistic side suggested above and great news to hear you can do most of the work yourself that should keep the costs down. If you need any help then don't be afraid to get in touch with me, I will help whenever I can.
