Default My first cossie....

Well last year after selling my S2,i left a deposit on a saph cos.Last night i finally fetched her. The car is on a "H" plate in Magenta , its a 4x4 Saph stage 3 running 330bhp.

She has done 52000 genuine miles and im the 5th owner now. She has been stood for 15 months, and was a bit minging lol. I started to clean her, but weather stopped play today. Theres around £8000k of reciepts for jobs and labour

See what ya think,and tell me that it was £3500 well spent

Need to take the sticker off the boot, there was one on the front as well, but i have taken that off today. Most details are in the PF garage, few more things to add

https://passionford.com/forum/garage...ehicle&CID=312



cleaned





rear strut







She drives really nice albeit a bit hard with the Konis on etc.

You'll be back, Ian!

I thought the same, and my saff was fun for a bit, but always missed my S2.

Hopefully soon I should have a gen 350+bhp through my front wheels, THAT will be an interesting drive!

I'll await your call
