Does look tidy, but probably cheap because it's an S2 :mrgreen:



...or it's winter, and it is highish mileage.... or a scam. :roll:

That's a nice car. Timing is wrong but a 111S or Toyota 134 model would be a great partner to UJI one day. It's on our Bucket List :-)

It's been for sale since about April! and was on the market last year too.. I spoke to him last year when I had the itch for a lotus or boxster..

I tried to buy it this year before I bought mine but he said he had someone coming to buy it that weekend so I went and bought mine.. His never sold, i was a tad gutted as I'd prefer a 111s but that one kinda spells trouble, he's done a lot of work on it himself to try and sort out a head gasket issue which sounds from what he was saying to be a recurring issue. he has taken some padding out of the seat bases to save weight :roll: and had removed the passenger seat and taken the padding out of it also.. It looks a great car and I'm sure an engine would see it reliable again? Looks in good condition and has a hard top... would have been my 1st choice but not sure I could afford the repairs it may need.. that said he may well have got it sorted and reliable but the stories just made me think, hmmmmmm, maybe not :blackeye
