Default Most amount of previous owners

I've Just bought a 1988 s2 Rs turbo with 24 previous owners

Dirty slag, no wonder she drives so nice

Anyone seen of a car or had one with more owners?

Ill try upload a photo later.

Yes it is red. The shell is ready for the scrap yard, its rotten and had a hard shunt up the arse. But mechanically it's sound, so a lovely doner car for my cabriolet

My old Sierra Cosworth had 24 owners! To be fair the car had thick folders full of history and receipts - a good few of those owners had clearly spent a lot of money on the car so that was good.

At the same time it had clearly had a hard life too.
