S2 at last

Welcome to the clan!

The clocks come from S2_Bo on here, they are plasma gauges. Very good quality and likely fitted to replace peeling OE ones. There are now Red ones on the go too from Bo or OE replacements from Rusty.

Enjoy the car

Welcome. Your front seats are the 5hittie5t seats available. Please take them out of the car ASAP and send them to me for destroying...

That looks like a great starting base you've got yourself there. Definately the best colour. I don't remember seing it for sale?

When you say the history stops at 2006, are there no receipts etc? Quite often as cars like these get older they fall into the hands of entusiasts who repair and maintain them themselves.

Ah, I hadn't seen that, you've gotta be quick! Still, I bought my avant over the phone 40 minutes after the advert went live!

Looks nice! Carb trim, Recaros and rear opening windows are all sought after! The gauges are limited edition, only 65 sets made in blue.

Hope you enjoy the car!

Nice looking coupe as most cars do when you get them they require a little tlc and thats half the fun doing your own bits to it it would look good on a set of 18s:mischeif:

That looks like a nice car for the money.. Recaros, low miles, carbon and not been messed with by the look of it!

If the clock faces are S2_Bo plasmas they're great at night

and much easier to read than the red.

looks like it has got the dark headlining aswell... I want your car! (if it were LHD that is) =)

Yep, that's my old ABY that my brother bought off me as the missus bought a S4 Bi turbo Avant and I had a 20V Ur. Never let us down and was a great all round car.

Cheers Andy e

Hi all,

At last I have got myself an S2.

Does anybody here know this car ? Unfortunately, the history only goes back to 2006 so I am hoping that somebody here may know it's history warts and all !

It has had it's clocks replaced with white faced plastic ones with blue graduations. Any body know where these come from ? The speedo has the S2 emblem on it.

It also has boost gauge fitted and a stainless back box. Ringing any bells with anyone ?

It needs a bit of TLC, infact, it needs a lot of TLC, diff seals and a clutch for starters as the pedal is VERY stiff and the biting point is about 1mm from the carpet.

I'm looking forward to getting crackingon it so get ready for numerous posts asking probably the most basic of questions.

Hi Martin62
So you were the lucky guy who bought it, i saw it advertised and managed to pop down this morning to look at it

i knew it was sold but was out for a drive and with that spec i wanted to view it

With a bit of tlc it will be a hell of a car

**Martin62** · 17 April 2011, 18:56

Yes, I didn't realise just how lucky until I read all of the favourable comments from forum members.

Good to deal with such a nice bloke as Nigel too and to hear your comments Andy e

Can't wait to get started on it.

Thanks to all for your positive comments and offers of help.

Very much appreciated by a newbie like me !

Martin
