Apologies as this is nearly a classified, but mate of my neighbour's wandered round a few days ago and announced he'd got an S3C like mine, but it was rather special, being the Motorshow car from '92. Its currently laid up in a garage and is about to emerge for sale..

I gather it is a one off colour - probably more bronze than gold, cream interior and its done about 50K miles. Not seen it, but is supposed to be in good condition.

I'm not connected with the car in anyway, other than thinking if its what I'm told it is, it would be nice to go to a good home and as the guy selling it has no web access I'll wander round sometime soon to take a few snaps and then post the ad here..

In the meantime, anyone with a particular interest, mail me off line and I'll put you in contact with the guy selling..

Could be.. I've a photo of it somewhere which I'll dig out and send to you to see..

The car was based in Sheffield and I was told it was in very good condition. I'd be surprised if the owner sold it cheap as he was in no hurry and seemed to want to hold out for a decent price. This was something like a year ago though, so circumstances may have changed.

on which occasion be very careful with your reply

I think the colour is different to yours Paul, plus yours is an S3 not an S3C

Of course I could be wrong!

..and I'll wager theres no way DG's would let a car with some "History" like that, be sold quietly on the cheap either.
