Not often you see this!!
From L-R,
Jack's 2002 Turbo, My 530MLE, Frank's Batmobile, and Chris's 535.

4 Very RARE cars all next to each other.

Was a mission to get in , but well worth it. I myself have never seen a Turbo 02' in the metal.

Is that a real 2002 Turbo or was it a replica?
I buzzed around it like a fly for a couple of minutes, but i know too little about these beauties to tell a fake from an original.

TRUE 2002 TURBO, apparently originally owned by Nicky Oppenheimer, sold off, few hands till Jack bought it. BEAUTY!!

It was an original Turbo BUT, the new owner has modified it extensively. He has replaced the original Kugelfischer injection system with a more modern electronic system, added a bigger Turbo and modern bling piping and fittings. The wheels are non standard and the seats have been redone in leather.

Don't get me wrong, he's done a brilliant job, but disappointing from a purist point of view considering that this is the only Turbo in SA.

Thread revival!

I saw a silver RHD 202tii racing at Swartkops on Saturday, any chance it's real? It was turbo-ed and had the right badge...
