First ever video on KZfaq of a VERY RARE Turbo Technics Ford Sierra Minker, never mind 2! This is a full walk around of 1 of 3 Ford Sierra Minker K1 and also the later version 1 of 6 323! Both have a twin turbo V6 producing 320 BHP first seen in 1988 from Turbo Technics. It was reported to be quicker than a Lamborghini Countach with a 0-60 in just 4.8 seconds, in 1988, the classic supercar killer! However this car had one downfall, the price, it was supposedly set at £35,000, which in todays money, is equivalent to £85,000! Imagine having to choose between a Cosworth for half the price or this, this is why we think of 3 of the K1 versions were made and 6(or 9?) for the 323! We hope you enjoy this one!

Thank you so much for putting these amazing videos together of the things gary worked so hard for and loved. I think we all remember Gary's stories of driving his minker 323 and having the police helicopter following him and then about 5 police cars doing one of those maneuvers where they block you in.... I also remember the time he got back to the unit in his minker and brought with him "cops with cameras". Can't say I was best pleased that day 🤣🤣. However gary being gary got away with it everytime. It's a true honour to be able to watch this footage and realise what he did achieve in his too short life. Thank you so much.

I worked for Turbo Technics in the late 80's at the southern branch and it was the best 13 years of my working life. I still have a Minker 323 badge in my tool box. There was another car which was a MK1 3 door which was used as the development car which Geoff (the owner of TT) used as a sprinting and hill climb car. I drove this car and two black 323's and they were the quickest cars i have ever driven.... RIP Gary.
