Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
just seen this one on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/groups/4096944 ... 9466377302
He is breaking it and there looks like there are some fairly decent panels up for grabs
For the purpose of the register the reg no. looks to be WKE268X
Shame on the surface it looks ok but too late to save now

On eBay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153909919873
Looks quite smart. (Wheels look the wrong offset though)
I sent a question asking for some more pics.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Looks tidy. Back in 2013 it was in Belfast and was rolling on S3 wheels so probably a S3 suspension swap ( as it's a S2) and it was also fitted with a Pinto. It then came back to the mainland and had a 12a put back in it.rotarypower wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 7:17 pm On eBay:

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Looks like the S3 wheels (or one at least) are still behind it.
