Always loved the RS Turbos, not a fan of that front end tho. Is it the 1.6 turbo?

Looks like it has a few older touches like the show cage and the bad boy bonnet. Was it modified a while ago? Paint job looks to be a decent standard.

2.1 zvh?

    Nice mate, I have always liked the older fords, so I myself bought one, been using it as a daily for the last three weeks, it seems to attract as much attention as it does flies to the front bumper.




    Although I have dug the rallye out this evening to take it work and see what's what with the mot for the morning, have to say felt weird sitting in it, not driven it for ages.

    I had a fair few S2's, from heavily modded to almost concours, and its the more standard ones now fetching strong money. Theres 2 in my cul de sac at the moment, live opposite each other, both have standard red H reg S2's. My mate Matt owns the one, the guy opposite has just bought his, paid £6k for it with 70k on from new.

    They drive propper old school though, heavy steering and brakes, and standard ones are no longer a fast car, with only 133 bhp as standard.

    Yours looks nice Mr West, any more pics?

    It is a big turbo one, not totally standard, running 380brake.

    Drives.... Slow slow slow, fast as f**k, change gear slow slow slow repeat to fade.

    Always wanted/want a s2 rst but keep putting it off and off and now at the point where it could be a case of never meet your hereo's so to speak. I almost won a mint white one on the bay 6 years or so ago and some berk outbid me literalary in the last second. Ended up with an Impreza STI.

    How does it drive? Do they feel slow nowadays?

    heavy brakes,very heavy steering,bumpy,on/off clutch, noisey,smelly.....i love it! LOL
    as for slow, its not standard but would imagin a standard one would feel a bit gutless at 133bhp
