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

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 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
