Indeed. Pity the pics are a bit blurry and don't do it justice

Next lowest is probably the 4800 miler which went unsold (iirc) on ebay back in April: Red D plater

Oh I get you now..in the rhetorical sense..meaning it wouldn't get used and be a lot of money for something to be sat in the garage.

Yes. Specified by the first owner... Makes it look non-special and more mainstream imo...maybe that's what the owner wanted? To not stand out too much (not that they blooming used the thing!)

there must be a reason for this low miles. in the grand scheme of things its only a s2 turbo. not a homologation special like a escos big turbo or an rs500, so i can understand a collector keeping it with sod all miles from new (escos and 500)



but a s2?? maybe some bought it then died, and the family didnt sell it off?

maybe it was smashed heavily on way back from the dealers and sat around a long time before repair?


it would be like someone buying the new st focus

and just leaving it for 18 years. WHY? it once again is no homologation special and in 18 years will be worth 5k at a push with stupidly low mileage?

i love low mileage cars but agree dave hay, i would be persoannly worried about gettin it dirty

Maybe the first owner had plenty of cars to choose from and didn't want to drive it? You can say that abot most of the low mileage cars..that xr2 for example with 200 miles. Nowt 'special' in your eyes..but obviously was to someone.

yes but there are not that many under 4k mile cars, low mileage really is anythign under average so a 10 year old car with 60k is relatively low mileage
