Newbie reporting for duty

[Clark]

Appears to be intact, original (except wheel hubs) and doesn't look like there's any body rust

Hope the owner isn't too hung up on "fixing it tomorrow" and will let it go to a good home. If not we may have to...liberate it

Honestly though, I hope someone can get it back on the road. So sad to see a fellow S2 wasting away like that.

We might have missed the perfect oportunity for 'liberation', according to the old boy I spoke to, the owner has been 'away' for four years and has just got back.

Oh man...it's my car when I don't wash it after a week!

Interesting it has green and yellow Lotus wheel caps - mine are black and white. (edit: just noticed that Clark saw this too...)

'wonder if the tires are NCTs...

Great pics John.

[SE Owner :-D]

Kimbers, where has this desire to restore every car in the world come from? You paying?

He's got an S4 to do first anyway...

[talon]

That car looks very saveable!

Hi John

Nice photos, it does look like it needs a change of owner! Just remember that an S2 will have a painted chassis rather than a galvanised one, and ten years of standing still outdoors may have taken its toll. Check it over thoroughly...

IS it actually for sale? if so whats the price?

what you can see doesn't look too bad really. but as some have said the big worry would be the state of the chassis. I see it being worth much.....

....could be perfect! Are s2's turbos or not?

[JPL76]

I haven't managed to speak to the owner yet, and to be honest after being told he'd been 'away' for four years (away where??) I'm not sure if I want to. As I've mentioned above I think a job such as this would be too much for someone with my limited knowledge and experience (not to mention finances). Its a really nice thought but no. Someone doing their second or third restoration maybe better placed for a job like this.

John, you are probably correct, it would be best for someone who has done one before, the best one for you is a 'get in and drive' till it goes wrong car.

i do not understand the Reg? that is not a UK reg plate, yet it is right hand drive, what country are you in??

I wondered about the number plate too (or should that be licence plate whilst you're in Canada?). I can confirm that I am in England. I live in a place called Holmfirth near Huddersfield.

[Kimbers]

Isn't it Cypriot?

Looks like northern Ireland plates to me,maybe?
