Lord Ferguson Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm wondering if this is an aftermarket turbo... I can't find any literature on the 698 with that decal on it... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Is that the "turbo" sticker that came with an aftermarket Opico tubocharger \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I don't think it is Mark... I can't find an opico picture anywhere at the minute though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thats a standard 698 with after market turbo fitted. The official 698 with turbo was called a 698T. A fine example of an eighties icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
