another rescued s2
Discussion
I've been waiting for the right chance to pop up to get another tvr. over the years I've had 2 chims 2 cerbs and a 3000m.
( if my first carb is about I want it back)
but an 88 s2 popped up for sale on my doorstep not seen the light of day in 5 or more years and well I just had to save it. so the deal was done and I just need to pick her up this week. this is the only pic at the min
shes in remarkably good nick body and chassis wise so I'm hopeful for a good service and an mot and go from there.

I don't normally like the quad headlight version of the Cerb but in that colour and clear indicators. Very nice.( if my first carb is about I want it back)

so today's update.
when I got the car the exhaust manifolds were in the boot. i was told they came off for repairs and skimming of the faces.
battered them back on (not much fun) only to find that the down pipes are sitting so low that they are on the floor.
turns out the lower part of the manifold was replaced with much longer pipes.
it also turns out that despite being skimmed and new gaskets they still blow.

I used to take the cerb to that show before the saxo chav crew spoilt it for the everyone.
I'm not sure on the original name of the colour.
the s2 came from around hear to so could have been the same one.
once it's back in the road the chassis will get a good clean up and paint. it's a bit grubby but solid.
