I wasn't keen to begin with, but I've warmed to my brown interior now. Think I'd rather have brown than redian65 wrote:and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse....it's brown inside.myatt1972 wrote:Looks a good honest car that, shame its greencodge wrote:On ebay today.....

Looks nice but DVLA suggests this car's been laid up a while?

Re: just seen this...
the brown interiors on the s2's are ok... quite sporty with the stripes but the brown velour interiors in the s3's are just nasty IMO... a bit too 80'sSteve-A wrote:

Re: just seen this...
Fair point. I think s2 wins the interior goodness generally. I kinda wish I had an s1 interior, I want windy windows!

Re: just seen this...
With hindsight, I would have liked to have started with an s1 shell and put s3 running gear under it. Ah well, I'm stuck with me s2 now!

Well you are good at welding & you'd need to be if you ever did a S1!
S1 with S3 running gear would be good.
S1's have best interiors,best steering,& their lighter as well,but engines less bhp,easily sorted.

Re: just seen this...
slightly less powerful engines but lighter cars so no difference really... my S1 seemed just as fast as any other 1st gen I've owned...syebba wrote:Steve-A wrote:With hindsight, I would have liked to have started with an s1 shell and put s3 running gear under it. Ah well, I'm stuck with me s2 now!
