No not a tubo, but the body does look good condition for the money you paid.

Insurance will be massively higher, running costs higher, performance will be noticeable but if you're excited by a 20V N/A I'd say stick with it till you're used to it lol!

Funny that the insurance company has it wrong as autochecker shows it as being a 20v.

How much was your insurance and how old are you if you don't mind us asking?

Something is badly wrong here.

Firstly, the person you bought if from has mislead you, your car is not a 20V Turbo, but an early 20V non turbo.

Secondly, if your insurance company have insured it as a 20V Turbo, then presumably that is what the VIN is registered as, and/or what is registered on the national database they use etc.

Thirdly, if the V5 details the car as a 20V Turbo, then either you have been given a different car with false plates on it, or the same car with a 20V non turbo engine, gearbox, wheels etc swapped over (I doubt its the latter)

First things first, check the VIN numbers match from the V5 to the car, possibly do some kind of vehicle check etc, to see if whatever car your plates came from has ever been stolen/scrapped.

Good luck pal.

These cars aren't cheap to insure.
I'm 35, full no claims, London based, street parking, insured no claims and it's costing me £1300 a year.

Saying that, they are sooooo much fun to drive. wink

The question still hasn't been answered as to whether the B pillars say '20v' or '20v turbo'
