.
My first sight of an S in the flesh/Fibre , on the street in Tottenham, just after the riots...I paid in cash and drove it away there and then. October 2011, has it really been almost two and half years, no regrets and I think a little lucky too. Impulse and heart ruled head, cash in pocket may have been a little brave ? ( Yes it was avery steep hill, good handbrake eh )

Ah, that's where Mike's silver V8S went. Good job he has a spare.

The day I sold my S2 after 19 years ownership: cry

Nice bloke, hope he does not mind me posting a pic of him! Yeah, having 2 was just greedy. Could you pm me his email if you have it? I had my account hacked and lost all contacts.

This was the first photo I saw from its original advert. Knew I had to go and have a look, offer accepted that day and I then I was the proud owner of a V8S. Had intended on buying a S3 but could not resist biggrin I only intended on owning it for a couple of years then moving on to a Cerb, now don't think I could be without it. Will have to hope for a Cerb in addition if I am ever so lucky. Well, I can always dream getmecoat

First day at home, seems like only yesterday wink




Needs some work, but got some good bits...

"Normans" clear indicator lenses
full stainless de-cat exhaust inc. manifolds
almost new hood and alloy stays
no "milkyness" around screen

and some bad bits.....

running rough/cutting out
dash is a mess
damage to front valance
and just generally lacking a bit of TLC

It was yesterday, wasn't it hehe

cool I guess that's what made it irresistable Mike wink

The clear indicators really suit the silver paintwork.

And is that a nice silver S4 bonnet I detect?
What is the condition of the chassis / outriggers?

Good purchase you made there, click click smile
I blinked & missed it!
Of course, I'm not jealous.

Not one bit. wink
I mean, it's missing an air scoop in the bonnet. wink ............

Bought on a bit of an "impulse", need to assess what I've got and decide.

First job is to get it running ok and try for an MOT and Tax it, then I can drive it and see how it feels I think smile
