...so has the ABY engine but a few 3b charactersitics in the looks... non ellipsoids, no roof rails, orange indicators and the 3b wheels....

I have several magazines from back in the day (e.g. late 92, 93 and 94) and I think everyone of them that shows the S2 avant at the time of introduction shows them sporting the five spoke "3B" S2 wheels.

Yup all early avants have those wheels and I think for the first few they didnt have the rails and all the early avants had the orange indicators.

I still have all the orange lenses and the wheels which i have had recut so it can go back to looking exactly how it does in the articles.

Unbelievable.......Brings back memories seeing that fast lane article.I definitely had the mag but threw roughly a thousand mags awayin early 2000's that i had collected since 1984. Now i have to pay the ebay dealers £5.00 to buy one back

So you own this car.Nice one

The first few definitely did not have the roof bars.Not 100% but i think the orange indicators were changed to clear for the 1994 model year so might appear in late 1993 brochures as clear.

Poor you.

I have to pay more on eBay.uk and then pay at least £5.00 for shipping.

I have that fastlane magazine and have it scanned. Too big to upload here though.

H744 TNV was registered 16 May 1991.
H133 YVV was registered 5 December 1990.
H138 YVV was registered 1 January 1991.
H141 YVV was registered 1 January 1991.

So my car H140YVV was 1 day earlier than H133YVV as my DVLA registration document definitely states 4th December 1990 which appears a bit strange.

Ooo....only one number away from being immortalized (H140 vs H141).

Ours wasn't a press car but a dealer car, first registered as L9 AFN (Archibald Fraser Nash) It was delivered as an early UK S2 Estate with the 3B alloys and a few optional extras in August 93 to AFN Isleworth.

This is it a few years ago with the original 3B wheels on...



Its running Avus at the moment...
