The black S2 which ran with the plate SVM 286 was owned by a guy called Rob Edmands. The car was absolutely immaculate and made a genuine 286bhp from an 8V CVH (I have been witness to the power run to prove it).

The car was sold a few years ago to someone who basically mistreated it, abused it, then decided to blow it up in style, one main component after another from lack of knowledge and sympathy. Was last seen in one of the breakers yards in Gasoline Alley near Ashford, Kent. Is a shame in a way as it was a genuine 1 owner car which had never been abused and was garaged all its life, never seeing rain unless it had to. I still have quite a few of the original "as new" parts from it in my loft where he would buy spares of things "just in case".
