Auction (SOLD)

Spotted this in the Brightwells Leominster sale on May 15th.
H194VVF may be of interest to someone but caught my eye because it seems to have a limited edition number on the dash.
Anyone know this car or maybe the original S2 the badge came from.

Chipp - my initial guess is that, because it has had previous electrical issues, someone has bodged taking out the dash and it has been replaced by an S2 one. Alternatively, the owner may have just gone to a scrappie and purchased the "Limited Edition 447" badge

No doubt Geoff will be checking this up on the S2 register, tracking down the S2's number plate, colour and if/when it was written off

Some very interesting motors there, the orange Capri , but who would have thought a Sierra Azure 1.6 could have become a 'modern classic'

Assume 447 to now be a dead S2 then.

That might have been Big Erch's neighbour ? The one who rolled it over on a country lane and still has the skin surgery on his head to prove it

Sold in Leominster yesterday. Only £2750 + commissions

A bit of a non runner though and will need re-commissioning. Hope it wasn't snapped up just for parts

I'm sure it will end up being broken for parts. It is a non turbo car after all.

Time to spice it up...

In fact, I think it SHOULD end up being broken up for parts to keep the large number of good condition turbo cars on the road. There are plenty of Elans left, so I don't really see the problem with breaking a few. Most Elans have spent the last two decades snug in a garage, and for those that aren't, the metal is well protected from rust, and the fibreglass won't rust either.
