Hi all,
Just joined the board, looking to but a s2 in the next few months...dont mind spending good money as i want a minter . Currently running a mk6 rs2000 2wd which is ok but hasnt got the appeal of the s2 for me plus i want that turbo buzz .

where is the best place to look for one? apart from on here ov course!!!!!

cheers

jon

 

essex! lol.... performance ford mag and fast ford mag!

 

oh and welcome to the BB

 

any pointers for when looking at one??? having owned several fords in the past and in particular a 90 XR3i i know how much of a rot box they can be!!!!
I think its becoming increasing difficult to find good genuine examples of series 2's? Ive also been looking in rallye news (RSOC mag) and it seems there are some good ones in there, strong money though!!!

main things i can think of are elcetrics (windows) and battery tray (rust) other than that all the normal things that go wrong with other cars!

 

cheers james,
will be looking soon keep you posted!!!!

 

Look for rusty battery tray,fuse box,rear chassis legs boot floor and the bottoms of the doors,oh yeah and around the sunroof.

 

rsoc rallye news is best place, the think with a erst u knw when u found a gud one make sue u check the inner wings battery tray and look 4 bubbling specially on roof and where the bonnet meets the lights, look 4 something standard thats never run above factory boost, i think a full service history is important and try 2 get a 90 spec good luck mate, took me 6 months 2 find a mint one
