Whats a type 25 worth over a standard model?
Is it just a standard car tarted up? or a rare collector edition????
There a couple in the classifieds at the mo and i really want a car.....

Assuming you're talking about an S2, I've got one (a 111S - see my prifile) and it's just a standard car with a different colour scheme and, um, that's about it. As far as I've noticed, you get:

Green paint with yellow stripes
Black defuser
Black wheels
Half leather/half alcantara interior in red and grey (with an emblem stitched into the head rests).
A damned annoying plaque on the dashboard which reflects in the windscreen
A hardtop

That's all I can think of. They tend to go for about 500-1000 quid more than non-special editions with the same spec but of course if you don't want a hardtop you can save significantly by buying a normal car.


Personally I'd argue that they're worth the extra (obviously or I wouldn't have bought one). There's no particularly rational reason that I think this, it just feels nice to know that there are only another 24 cars like mine in the world (or 49 if you get a 120bhp version) and I happened to like the colour scheme.

If it's the 120bhp engine, whatever you're prepared to offer... the S1's were worth a few quid more because of the better wheels and seats, but that's it really.

If it's the 111S, then the same as any other 111S.

Don't remember them making a Type 25 S1??

They didn't. S2s only.

Its a gorgeous car .. but its not worth thousands and thousands more. imho its just trim realy . the fact that there are only 50 is nice but .. well you buy the car to drive and cause its grogeous not because there are only 50

I like them too, but prefer them with one big fat strip.

76 cars in total, all S2, 25 111S, 50 standard k + 1 without the annoying plaque

Indeed they didn't, I wasn't particularly clear, but what I meant was... the S1 special editions did actually include some extra stuff which was worth having (generally better seats and the 111S wheels). I had a Type 79 myself and it was worth the small premium for 111S seats and wider wheels. On the S2's you're really just paying for paint and trim options though.
