Hi all,
So I have been after a project for some time now and an S2 avant came up for sale online within budget. I went to take a look and it was clear that it was going to need some work to get it back to the correct condition but it has had quite a lot spent on it already and it seems to have an interesting history so I decided to go ahead. I collected the car on Saturday and it's currently at my house waiting for some work.
The car is a '93 S2 avant in "Classic White". It appears to have been registered with VAG and used as a press car along with 2 others with sequential registrations. I have found an article from 2003 showing a photo of this car and I believe that this car was also featured in some magazines in '93 with reviews but I haven't located photos of those yet. Any help here would be appreciated!
Given that it's such an early car it has no roof rails, non-elipsoidal lights, orange indicators, no ABS button and would have had earlier 5-spoke wheels which have since been replaced.
I have attached some pics showing how it currently stands and the magazine article
There is plenty to do- the rear brakes keep sticking and yesterday caused the brakes to boil so I've ordered some rear caliper rebuild bits even though the main issue is rust from the caliper bodies getting stuck between pads etc I think.
If anyone can recommend a good garage for a cambelt and service in the Cambridge/Newmarket area I would really appreciate it.
I'll try and update this as I go, but please feel free to give advise/warnings/encouragement.
Cheers,
Mark.
