Had a moment of madness last night and placed a bid on ebay.
So tomorrow afternoon I will be the proud owner of a grey series 2 cloverleaf.
What have I done???

Welcome back.
Is this the Chris Kennaird car?
My brother was quite interested in that early summer, it went on and off and back on the market.

The sill end looks straightforward, so £500 is no money for what is now a rarity
Well bought.
I remember the red carpet well from my old S2 1.7

Yes looks an easy fix so soon get that done.
I Thought it was worth a punt as no one else seemed to be bidding on it.
And I have to confess I am possibly a little bit to blame for the rarity of these cars because I used to pick them up very cheaply and
drive them into the ground, scrap them and pick up another.
The most I ever paid for a 33 was around £300 (till now).
I am possibly responsible for the demise of 5 or 6 series 2s (including 2 sport wagons) and I also wrote off a series 3 1.5ie

Ah but how long ago is this? £300 in 1994 gets inflationed to £460 today
Lookin at rise in the values of say: XR3, SRi, E80 Corollas and of course Alfasud QV, it's not gone up much at all |

Well Ive just driven her home to Bath from E.Sussex with a huge grin on
my face all the way...mainly due to the fuel gauge, accelerate full tank,
brake empty tank  Id forgotten that little foible.
Anyway it was a great drive and cant wait to get back in tomorrow.

Ich bin in Deutschland in der moment, but it is a very nice 33. I know that there is one bit you need - the carpet under the dash. There is a minor problem with n/s suspension? If I were still living in Isfield I would have bought this car so I am a little jealous.

Yes when going hard around a right hander there is a rubbing noise, not sure if its front or rear and not had a chance to investigate yet.
I thought at first it might be the exhaust hitting underbody but now discounted that theory as it is definitely a rubbing sound.
Any Ideas???

I use to have an issue around left hand bends with the manifold hitting the wishbone mount, it was down to worn engine stabiliser arm rubber, but I guess your talking rubbing around the wheels?.

I didn't have enough time in it to find out, but I thought it might be a bush. Nice car though ain't it. I think you got a good buy. I supplied the interior.
