[Dan]

[wideboy]

supposedly 160 mate

iv heard a few folk say 180 too, but they'r just naturally aspirated so i doubt it

[Sean]

the only thing that would worry me is the fact it says they're done by LAD motorsport, who are notorious for bullshit power figures. still wouldn't mind one though.

[GreenSaxo]

i think that they are lad conversions...

There is currently one on ebay item number:4581198421...

"This car unfortunately is in preaty bad condition. The chasis is sound but it has been battered by envious teenagers who have cratched every panel on the car. It has also been broken into on a couple of occasion and has damage to both driver and passanger doors.

The interior is reasonable considering the milage but will need some attention. The engine was replaced at just over 30k as the original one blew. This was settled over a leagle matter with Citreon that authorised 20 of this particular model to be modified by L.A.D motorsport in 1997. This is number 10 which is identified by a gold badge near the gear stick. Wheel bearings will need some attention however the wheels themselves where replaced 3 years ago. This is the racing compomotive wheel which was added to seperate it from the standard VTS.

Incidentaly when the engine was replace it was then installed by Prima Racing in Nottingham. Although they raised the Bhp from the 160 to 180 in my opinion it didn't feel as quick.

The car drives ok but this will be a serious project for someone who can find the time to work on it, alternatively as part far another vehicle."
