from the pics, yes, but from the description:

"I cant get the drivers door to open, the passenger side opens from the inside only & The boot opens on the key from the outside. " hmm, that's a disadvantage

been sitting for 20 years and exhaust is rotted away, I suspect the whole underside may be the same
I had a Bitter with the same door handles, and a lug snapped off the casting inside so the external door handle stopped working. Can't recall how it was fixed - new handle probably.

meh... mere details. That's to worry about after it's bought smile
I once bought a Monza with no MOT (that looked tidier than that one on top tbh). I wouldn't recommend it.

I hate to burst your bubble, but after owning one, I can confirm they are effing awesome!

Buy one, don't drive it on the motorway.

Done.
thumbup

I just hope I can get in before prices do a 205.

The Bitter was ace, and quite normal really underneath. The Tatra was also ace, but had little normal about it all from most people's points of view!

Personally I've always wanted an S2...

Any differences besides the bodyshell?

in terms of rallyes, S1 was a 1.3 100bhp 7200rpm, S2 a 1.6 101bhp 6200rpm, S2s had pas and airbags as options.

both fun, not a lot of sound deadening in either, but even less than a standard 106.

I want one, but do a lot of motorway journeys and they really are geared for B road fun.

Stunning. Red with Tan Leather is still my favorite Alfa combo though

They both look great.

This Saab has nearly double the miles, but nearly half the price! Needs a good polish by comparison though

Like that but...

"Bought for my son but it's too expensive to insure"

More like it was bought for pennies from some old boy and is being moved on quickly for a big profit biggrin
