Well, I went out and bought another car (1965 Mustang) and I've been badgered into selling the S2. We really don't have room for both the Mussie and the S2, and I don't have the money to tidy it up now I've spent out on the new one. My girlfriend is very persuasive!
I don't have any photos ready yet and will put it on the "for sale section" next week, but I would love to see it go to a club member so will mention it here first. Apologies if mentioning it here is wrong, an admin can delete it if it is!
It's a 1989 S2, light blue with the blue pinstripe half leather interior. Approximately 181k miles. It has got a lot of service history but was off the road for a few years a while ago. Since I've owned it I've had the engine mounts changes, both sills and rear quarters done. I've changed the DME relay, fuel pressure regulator, plugs, fuel/oil/air filters. Full engine and transaxle oil changes. I had the rear part of the fuel lines replaced too. Bonnet struts are new too, a small job to remedy a really annoying problem! I had it checked last year and all cylinders have good compression and there are no hydrocarbons in the coolant.
It has a few minor ding/scuffs (rear left bumper corner, front left wing small dent). A couple of the bushes were also noted as a bit perished on a Porsche health check. The passenger seat cloth is a little worn and the drivers seat bolster a bit ripped. The dash has the usual cracks. It flew through the MOT a couple of months ago with no advisories.
I was on the verge of getting a respray done for £2-2.5k at the Spray Shack (Dunmow) as the paint is a bit faded and has a couple of scratches. Elliott also has a matching interior and dash that I was going to have fitted, easier than having the seats retrimmed with very bright and new cloth!
The car has been taken to the club stand at Helmingham Hall show, so some club members have seen it. I've loved owning it and was looking forward to bringing it back to it's full glory. Hopefully in a few years I'll pick up another S2 as I honestly can't fault them (apart from the stupid electric motor driven boot mechanism, great when you have a flat battery). I'm going to hang around just in case one comes up and I have the money back in the bank....
I was going to advertise at £2.5k on ebay, or starting auction at £2k. Haven't decided yet!
