Luego Viento For Sale
I am selling my Luego Viento, built by myself over a few years
It started out with a c20xe engine running through a type 9 on twin 45 dellortos
I soon got used to the power so the quest for more began, and only 6 monts since passing sva the c20xe was removed and i came across an sr20det
This was fitted over the winter and now this engine has been in the car for 2 years now and my god its crazy now
The car passed sva on the first retest and date of first registration is 09 04 2009, failed due to a few sharp edges and the speedo not reading
correctly
The car has 10 months tax left and has done just over 1600 miles since passing
The reason for selling her is that i am starting on a new project soon, I have a 1987 land rover 90 that needs a full strip down and rebuild
Chassis and bodywork
Chassis is factory made buy Luego, powder coated black but is coming off in a couple of areas
Its double wishbone suspension all round with polybushes, and i had the crush tubes plated so they wont rust
The bodywork was supplied buy Luego as well but i believe they outsourced all the fibreglass work
The bodywork is in a bright red colour with alloy side panels
I have fitted my custom made aero screen but i ran out of time to get it painted so it is white at the moment and in the photos but it will be painted
black to match the cycle wings and bucket seats

Who have you got it insured with
Your leaving the cave?
No matty, still there :-(
Just selling the car as i am starting a new project and need the space.
Im going from one extreme to the other, ive got myself a 1987 defender 90 that im going to rebuild
Nice car, how does it cope grip wise with that power?
8k seems a cracking price for that performance.

Ooh ooh....pedantic head on....
1987, not a Defender, that name arrived in late 1991/early 92 along with the 200tdi,
So it's a 90......like mine
<----
But mine has a 200tdi in.
tomgregory2000 - 29/4/11 at 07:53 PMIts a ninety
Still have the orignal front pannel with the key lock for the bonnel lock
Im going to galv the chassis and get a new galv bulkhead, convert it to auto, fit a hydraulic front winch, rock/tree sliders etc etc
Edit: mine is fitted with a 300tdi at the mo
