Welcome. Very nice car. Colour is awesome, not that I'm biased at all.

[Rikki Kitto]

Lovely looking S2

[sjw185]

Your S2 has a nice spec Mike

Small world. I grew up
In " the broch " and I think that was an ex girlfriends dad's car. Also had a ur.

Small world right enough, This is my old 3B think it was bought brand new by someone in " the broch " had changed hands at least twice before I got it. Like Mikes old one I think its no longer on the road

some piccies of the car:

Very nice S2 there and good level of spec to the rear windows is rare you need to put some 18s on though!!!

come to think on it, i bought my old S2 from 'march motors' so that would kinda tie in with tthe broch connection!
i must admit, ruby red wouldn't have been my first colour choice but it certainly gleams after a good wash n polish. its growing on me as time passes
i didn't realise at the time i bought it that it had quite so many extra's bolted on. it was only after having a look on here i realised exactly what i'd bought!
im not sure about what's going to be in store for it as yet BUT different wheels are on the cards at some point. im probably looking to do some mild mod's to it without ruining the 'originality' if i can help it...externally anyway. maybe some wheels like the originals but slightly bigger/wider would do the job. nothing too wild as i think the wife (and $h!t roads) would kill me!

Mike just for reference here's what mine looks like with 18s on:

[mike74]

mmmm, i do like those wheels you've got there anthony, very nice & original looking but fill the arches beautifully! what are they, just out of curiosity?

[anthonys2]

They are S8 wheels 99% sure they are mark 2 Someone will correct me if am wrong think they work perfect for a Coupe I love them!!!

[quattrostyle]

Yup MK2 S8 Avus

Lovely looking motor

i took a halfy yesterday afternoon to try out some 'Meguiars' swirl remover & polish i'd bought. i think it came up pretty well for a hand polish!
in fact, i actually think its changed colour?!
didn't think much of the swirl remover stuff but the wax was really nice to put on & remove. in future i could actually wash, dry & polish it in about an hour (ish)

[quattrostyle]

Came up great I think. Some bumper and tyre black would finish it off nicely. Heard good things about forever black

[mike74]

cheers
hmm, i'll look into that stuff. the trim at the bottom of the bumpers could definitely do with being freshened up at some point
