Not seen this Renaissance Red S2 car before.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
I assume it was legit built but was never raced and later carpet, etc. was added.
Would love it but that price is pretty high! I'm sure a collector will buy it though. It probably won't see a public road again.
I'll stick to my FD and continue my search for a normal FB.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
It obviously didn't reach reserve in Coy's auction.
It would only be worth that amount if it had provenance, which it does not. Some things are just not genuine Gp B parts and some things are missing.
It doesn't feel quite right, having said that I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the cash !
Let's check that lottery ticket again....................

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
The group b one isn't worth what they are asking. Not even close. It's not an escort beater and realistically won't be.
You could build one just as fast for a fraction of the cost.
