Red S's

[foxy600]

Has anyone else spotted how many red S's there are for sale in 'Classifieds' at the moment?? What's wrong with red? Good job mine is blue

I've just bought a red'un. I thought the red ones were faster...

Happy days! Just need to get the bugger running properly now...roll on Bank Holiday Weekend!

Nothing wrong with red ones, but to be honest it wasnt my first choice when looking for an S?? Mine just came up and I decided to buy it because the price/time was right. But now I am happy I did as they seem to be less common.........! Like the blue and green ones....

Green isn't 'common', it's 'popular'.

As in Ford Popular?

Owning a red S2 myself I may be able to assist in this matter:
Maybe there are more red S's in the classified adverts because people get hacked off with T cutting the bonnet when it goes pink from the engine heat / sunlight / natural paint pigments / global warming / dodgy paint job etc etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well mine does, but I wouldn't want to get rid! I quite like the S in red................

I always wanted a red TVR with a cream leather interior, so as soon as I saw mine I had to buy it! It was the first one I looked at which in retrospect was a bit daft.

Red = Danger = Get out the way mate!!

Oh.... one other thing... didn't red S's win most of the classes at last years S club heaven?

I rest my case.

Ha! That's EXACTLY what I did - and seven miles later it died in a cloud of smoke. Still, looks lovely though.

I use the same analogy with the name 'Smith'

Yeah, I was very lucky, I inspected mine in the dark, didn't drive it but was driven in it... broke all the rules in the book.... only had the usual S owners problems... thankfully.

What were those Nick? I'm new to this...

[foxy600]

Lets be honest, the S looks great in any colour! and anyway, who cares when you pull away from the lights!............

[aruck]

I agree with the earlier comment... red ones do go faster!! Oh and never had a problem with the bonnet turning pink either!

[Hoover33]

T Cutt never been near my bonnet.... keep it nice and shiny with lots off wax (not polish). Helps maintain richness of colour.

Having owned a few red cars over the years the fading to pink is probably down down to a cheap respray.... you will see it a totally different colour under street lamps if you look.

Take a look in my profile, all the work I've had done since I bought my S2 is listed in there.
