Nice to have new people along it's a great forum full of help and advice

Welcome. 52k? That must be one of the lower mileage S2's around.

[4WDrifter]

Great to have you on board friend. I agree 52k is hardly run in! Most of us have three times that!
Looking forward to the pictures- we all like looking at pictures.

[AndyP]

Welcome, you realise pictures are compulsary?

Welcome aboard Martin I have a feeling your S2 has been the topic of a few conversations of a very rare cricket green from the north east very rare and more so with that mileage!! Love to see some pics of this

greeny

hi guys, thanks for the response, have put some photos in "garage" dont know if this is best way, but bear with me cheers martin.

Wow... such a nice car. So clean. And the color... I don't like green but this one is OK.
Seeing S2s like these makes me reconsider selling mine.
Please keep it stock... it's the best possible "upgrade" you can do to the car. And if you ever want to sell it, send me a PM first

Thats one clean S2

[4WDrifter]

That is gorgeous, the paint looks pristine. My badge is on the right hand side of the boot- any significance?

Welcome

I will have to get out my old paperwork as this could be the one I looked at back in late 2000. Cant be many cars in Cricket green with 35k on it.

Not wishing to seem negative but what put me off was it had no airbag steering wheel and advertised as a 96 car (I thought airbag wheels were standard from 94 - 96?) Don't know if it was the dealership it was in but me and my dad didn't have good feelings about the car

Glad the car turned out to be a good one I will see if I can find my paperwork for it

Yes I was wondering as well why it doesn't have airbag since it's a 1996 version?
Were aribags extra options (not standard) ?

[K Simmonds]

That's an exceptionally tidy example, I'd have thought it should have an airbag steering wheel being a 1996 car. Maybe the first owner didn't like the airbag wheel much and preferred the early three spoke? If it was there then some signs of it should left.

Maybe it was possible to order one without an airbag.

airbag s/wheel

hi, the car was first reg in jan 1996, so i think it was made some time in 1995. i dont know when the airbag wheel was introduced

Welcome to the forum
Thats one stunning S2 you have there - love it.
Certainly one of if not the lowest mileage cars in the country
