S2 3B or S2 ABY?

[steverrquattro]

I have recently bought two S2 project cars. Neither have MOT's and have been off the road for several years. The plan is to keep one and sell the other one on after I've got it running.

The question I'm pondering is, which one to keep?

3B
Metallic green, 177K, black interior but needs a carpet, some welding to one side of the boot and bumpers needed although there is a damaged rear and an RS2 type for the front. Original wheels also available.

ABY
Metallic dark blue, 148K, full black leather with carbon pack and has decided not to start since being delivered. Original wheels also available.

i would say keep the aby, lower miles and because its 6speed, then again probably best to keep whichever ones been more loved over the years. just my 2pence worth.

You lucky person. I'm not jealous at all

If you can afford to keep both and have dry storage, I would keep both and restore one now and one later. I agree with what's been said so far, ABY looks like a better keeper.
I will be interested if you are selling one as my project is coming to an end.

do you need to sell one now?

I would say the ABY to keep if you must...

it depends on your plans if your planing to keep one for longer period i would look at one that has the best chassis. if your upgrading the car to bigger power then aby ignition, gearbox, fan would be a thing that you would not have to upgrade in 3b.

Is the ABY Amethyst Pearl? It looks like it to me?

Is the ABY Amethyst Pearl? It looks like it to me?

Yes, I believe so, although it says purple on the V5.They are both nice colours.
