I've got Mick Walker's 4V book but can't quite get the 851/888 Strada/SP history sorted out in my head... |
Hi Zimbo...Its a '94 (slightly modded;!) Strada mate....It looks like an SP5 now..except the (standard) black wheels and yellow suspension loop. This was one of the very last ones UK registered, and was also produced after the SP5 ...... that had the stonking 888SPS WSB spec motor but in a more civilised package (no carbon tank, and unlike the SPS it had radiator fans!!)
Talking of SP5s Andrew..I have a guy who buys bits frome me for his new S4R (must be loaded as hes just ordered brembo monobloc calipers for it
!), and hes looking for a nice 888SP to add to his collection..his preference is a 4, but im on the case getting him to speak with you mate...
Thanks for all the nice comments guys..makes it all worthwhile...
Cheers
Nat
