That looks like an ERA Turbo model, very rare, hugely expensive, very luxurious & very quick.. my old boss(Keith Ripp)brought one & probably still has it! |

Close but not ERA - wrong bumper , wheels and colour |

Sorry! Your right Tali (although there were no specific coloured ERA models). Its actually a BAC M-30 based on the Mini 30 model (a 1989 special edition). It was supercharged, not turbocharged, had 115bhp, did 111mph & 0-60 in 8.7 seconds. The KAT bodykit was standard, as was the leather & walnut veneers. When it was launched it cost £30,000! the same as a BMW 535i a Porsche 944 or a Jaguar XJ6!!! |

Our 2nd one - previously ID'd as a Rover. So we've got 2 of the 3 actually made, although a run of 30 was planned. Seems to be a dummy plate. -- Last edit: 2012-02-10 14:33:52 |
