Finally some pics that actually do this car some justice and show it for what it really is.

The best S2 ever built... period!

Congrats guys, and thankyou for the stunning pics. Can i ask, was the Nurburgring created by having the decal put on before the sunstrip to give the embossed effect?

Wow thanks for all the comments
I will try to answer the questions ,power is around the 230bhp mark as i had it on the rollers a few years back,the car wont see any major mods now just some small tweaks here and there ,The photoshoot was up in derby there was a couple of studios to choose from but this one seemed the best ,yes the decal was applied then the sunstrip over the top ,they dont pay for the feature but for me it was having the car in the mag again and the fact that they were paying for a proffessional photographer in his studio for the day to shoot the car which cant be cheap,and also i get a disc with all the pics on Would i build another car? ,i would if i won the lotto and had loads of spare cash

I have to say this car is simply FANTASTIC! Awesome work, and the attention to detail is simply mind blowing.

Makes my rebuild seem like nothing!

I have owned the car for 13 years now ,not to sure of the overall money spent but is a lot lower than it shoud be as we have done all the work ourselves rather than shipping it off somewhere and paying

Christ, is it that long? I remember having my white one just before you got yours ( first time we met over at Brettons! ) It's funny really, seeing ALL of the developments, changes and alterations to get at this spec now! Feel quite privelaged really too, having a hand in some of them also!
Why don't you dig out some really early photo's and put them on here? when it was on the mondeo rims, then on the imola's!!

Top photo shoot! great pics, well done to all!!
And i still think it's time Bailey gave you a free swirl pot for the ammount of time you are on their stand!!
