Had to give this a quick mention as it seems to be a complete bargain to anyone looking to purchase an immaculate S1.

Does look nice, noticed it on ebay last night.

I'm really looking for an S2, what does everyone think is the lowest price for a clean, straight S2?

That car looks good, but I'm sure it will go for more than 6k; nautilaus blue is the best s1 colour as well!

Except for Norfolk Mustard Yellow and Scandel Green of course wink

Does look extremely tidy though.

If it sells it'll probably go for about £7k, which is probably a fair price in the current market vs. what else is for sale and sold. The advert's a load of guff really, could have said more with 1/10th of the words and doesn't mention a whole bunch of stuff that would make it more interesting to bid on.
The colour is very niche, and the interior's certainly not to everyone's taste.

It does look like a nice straight car.

The only thing which leaps out at me personally is the fact that the guy put a set of new tyres on all round, and yet has gone through the rears in 1900 miles. Which means he is either a) being economical with truth, or b) those 1900 miles were around various circular-shaped bits of private tarmac being wrung out at 10/10ths.

Now track mileage isn't a problem per se, just that it is at odds with the cherished nature of the rest of the ad, and makes you question what else might have prematurely worn.

I seriously hope people aren't bidding on it without having seen it, but I guess that's the great thing about eBay!
