Might be a bit thin on the ground in original spec. If it's just for some fun look at something already converted to turbo has a good shell. Condition is king. The BBR at this age might need a few quid thrown at it to bring it up to scratch. Intercoolers and manifolds might be past their best.

Good luck.

I have a totally mint 20,000 mile mk1 (none turbo) but you would need deep pockets to buy it

I'll be damned. I thought all the original BBR's were black ?
Nope, even the one on the original BBR brochure is red! I believe there were a number of LeMans specials that were only available in the crazy racing colours or black though. maybe that is the confusion

Just to clarify, are you looking for an original 1990/1991 1.6 BBR turbo or just a good car that has has a BBR turbo conversion? I suspect its the former.
