I was 26 when mine was orginally born. Who knows how old I'll be when it is born again.

As my ersatz S2 has yet to be "born" I am unable to answer the question accurately. The gestation time is a few years on now since I started collecting parts. I was 37 when my URs6 was born.
Suffice to say that Eisenhower was President of the good old USA when I was born."Nulla tenaci invia est via"Comment

I wasn t born when my Land Rover Series 2 was made ( 1961)
i wasn t either when the Jag was made ( 1966)
I was 22 when the S2 came into production and i was just mad to know how i ll make enough money to buy one !!
and it took me 8 more years to be able to afford one
for so many of us it s a dream come true, what a car !!S2 's and oldtimersComment

I was 27 when my S2 was born....
I always wanted an SWB UR after a customer turned up at our shop with one & took me out for a spin in it... I was about 17 at the time (he was a software programmer back in the dot com days, and had Wads of cash to throw around... & went bust a few years later & moved to France to avoid the tax man)
I started looking for one and knew I just could NEVER afford one.. No matter how hard I worked..
So had to stump up £20K a few years later for a 4 year old ABY S2. (Future Classic & Better than a UR as it was an ABY - if you believed the press)...
That was more money than I spent on my 1st Flat!!
And as of today I still own her.... Tomorrow I may not...
But such is life...Comment

I was 12 when my S2 was made... until 5 years ago I didnt know what one was and then 4 years ago I brought one... ever since I have been broke! Mind you I did buy another beetle and a T4 that seem to be taking all my money too! (And now a house...) I dont think I will ever have spare money again so the S2 better keep going once I rebuild the head....Comment
