VanAaken cinquecento

[beau]

i didnt think people would care about cinquecento's but seems some of you do have good things to say about them

iv had it since last year, and it needed some light work which il get finished within next few weeks hopefully.

it was the worlds first cinquecento turbo, high boost set up built by VanAaken in 1996.

i have only driven it down the road a few times so far, so not sure! but my previous standard one was good fun, so can only imagine this is alot better!

What's the engine and spec?
Couldn't understand the cinquecento for the group already had the Lancia Y10...and of course the Y10 Turbo which I owned for 3 or 4 years in the late 80's/early 90's.

I had a Van Aaken Y10 turbo years back, it was crazy quick in a straight line but wouldn't corner - it really felt terrible in the bends.
