This is what a non Turbo should look like:

- Nore the air inlet pipe goes straight from the air filter box to the inlet manifold (Large rubber hose on the far right of the picture), on a turbo you will see lots more pipework - Mike

How is it possible to own a car and not know if its turbo or non turbo?..hope he genuine for your-sake, but I would pass as soon as he said that.

i have known the car for the last 6years as the seller lives next to a relative but he is 86 so his son is selling it and dont think he has ever driven so i think he just doesnt know anything about cars.would it say turbo on the v5? thanks

You could try putting the reg into one of the various websites that recognise your car make model etc from the reg. Off the top of my head car parts shops or insurers, but there must be better sites so can someone suggest one?
