    Just a quick update. The colour it's LY5T Pelican blue its also got a very comprehensive service history and was supplied new in wales as Tracktor Dave thought. Its spent most of its life in the south, hampshire and Oxford areas with 3 years in Scotland where its now back to spend a long life with me. Will do an in depth post after the weekend once I've had some time to go over the whole car. But so far I'm happy with it.

    Cheers P

    Great to see another enthusiastic S2 owner they test you constantly but when they're on form they're a blast, I've had mine over 20 years and been through pain and happiness, more pain but still soldiering on with the old beast. Nothing beats that 5 cylinder roar

    Glad to hear you're all sorted now and in an S2 anyway!

    How come you didn't go through? Not that I am complaining, I absolutely love the car!

    Hi John, yes one and the same. Unfortunately I was not in a position to buy Rob's car at the time although I did help with sourcing the illusive pully bolt and washer!

    Are you the guy who was interested in Rob's green estate ?
