I've just sold the wedge and am looking for a decent s3C around the Greater London area. Had a look in Pistonheads.com and Autotrader.co.uk classifieds, and not found a fantastic selection of cars.

Where's the best place to look for an s Series?

Does anyone out there know of any good web sites / dealers who have s3C's for sale, or alternatively, anyone who's thinking of selling theirs!

Thanks!

Thanks for you help. I'll keep looking.
Incidentally, what's the better bet? An s3 or an s3c?

Found one!
Nice S3, British Racing Green, low mileage. Black leather interior, with chrome dashboard.... slightly different from the usual wood / creme leather interior I've seen on other S's. Picking it up tomorrow morning!!!
Can't wait.. don't know if I'll sleep tonight! It's like Christmas Eve when you're 10 years old!!

Anybody know how many S's have got the chrome interior?

Haven't got any pics yet.. will take some when I pick her up tomorrow.

Basically, the carpet's black, seats are black leather, and where the wood verneer usually is, is this really polished chrome. Look's cool.

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Haven't had a problem with the reflections yet.. mind you, not much sun around to reflect.

Reflection's not all bad though... Get a great view any tasty female passengers, if you know what I mean!

I think the interior's factory fitted.. might have been on special arrangement with the original owner.. chap called Mr A. Bekken.

According to the original manual, both the carpet and trim where black (codes CD-605 annd t-404.) Doesn't mention the chrome though..

Anyone know of any other similar S interiors?
