Always fancied an S2000 but at over £7000 and £325 road tax ,way above budget sadly.
As for landies, anyone seen the price of even half decent series 1, 2 or 3s?
You occasionally see one for sale on the LRS2C forum
here. You will need to sign up though but worth it as you will probably get a response in the wanted section. £5-6000 should get you an S2a that has generally good mechanics and originality, but probably in need of some bodywork tidying or a little welding, but you may need to wait for the right one. Members generally offer only genuine ones with honest detailed description of condition. More of a risk on eBay but you can usually view before bidding as I did. S3 models a little cheaper but catching up S2 prices. Unfortunately you've missed the boat in getting an S1 at anything less than silly price in driveable condition.
Availability of new chassis and now bulkheads plus most other parts, facilitates rebuilds of even those that have been in a hedge for 10 years.
