it needs to have been either taxed or sorned continuously for the last 5 years and if it's been sorned for over 5 years it will need to be taxed ( so mot'd as well) and they will most likely want vosa to inspect it..... been there, done that.

So basically anything on ebay is going to be terribly overpriced. I want to get another one but I'm not paying the amount people want for them on ebay....

try this one from Tim at RX Motors, he won't rip you off.... it'll find it's own level with a low start price and no reserve...

Hold out for a S3 if you can. Comes with better parts as standard. Or swap S3 running gear into the S2.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......

Decent FB's for sale in the UK now are few and far between, apart from the dreamers asking ludicrous prices.

The car for sale by Tim at RX motors looks like it has quite a few issues underneath.
The MOT history shows quite a few advisories that are repeated.

No, it's a new sighting, thanks Ian.
It's quite late, Aug 1985 according to DVLA.

I'll add it to the register. I don't do Facebook so any selling info will be gratefully received when it sells.

Naah....that's just for fancy.
Needs to be bright and bold, straight down the side above the buffer strips for max speed boost.
What say you Pete?
