How Many 1st Gens Still Running?

It is on the list Yes. It was on ebay in 2008, in Oxfordshire. I didn\'t note if it sold or not but since it was unlicensed last time I looked I\'m guessing it didn\'t.

I noted it in 2008 as having a BMW engine, I didn\'t know which one so I\'ve added 318 with a ? query. Thanks Michael.

Has it popped up again Ian or are you looking for ideas.....???xx?

Quote from: kiwi-mick;688862new series 2 on pistonheads any info on this one dave??
looks straight enough but unsure about one thing did they ever colour code the spray arms on the front bumper?
think this may have had a recent respray and if it has what is it covering??

Back on Pistonheads now for Â£400

It is, It is......well done Ian old Bean.

The bare S2 wheels are the same and whilst I could never get a Reg for this last advert, the date of 1st Reg was given on ebay and it\'s the same.

So... Tim....bad points - this car was very near to being broken but ....good points.....Donavan said 11,000 miles only since a rebuild.

And what did happen to Donavan

it had mot until June 2010 but is now sold for spares or repair so i presume the tickets run out.

The Fife car is on ebay today. Was on Pistonheads. A lot of Red cars for sale recently......

Ian65 · June 30, 2010, 06:36:43 PM

I saw that earlier...had me thinking...
They\'ve spoilt it doing a half arsed respray on it. I\'m not a fan of the original colour but I\'d rather have that than a car that\'s red on top and green underneath. It\'s just amateurish and done on the cheap.
I\'m much rather go for originality. The only positive is 12 months mot. When I think I sold my red car the other week for Â£1199 and that was an original colour, matching numbers car, I reckon this is worth nearer Â£700 quid and that\'s only cause it\'s got a long ticket.
Personally, I wouldn\'t want it for more than a monkey

captainbizzaro · July 04, 2010, 09:27:26 AM

Yeah I reckon so, they must\'ve been bored one sunday afternoon and seen a load of spare I beams lying around.

"whatever happened to Donovan?"

Donovan is (still) at work on a new multi-media album tentatively entitled "Ritual Groove".

\'Garden Gates and Snails\'? ugghh.....Give me Genesis lyrics from the early \'70\'s every time. For example...\'Harold the Barrel....a well know Bognor Resauraunt Owner....cut off his toes and served them up for tea\'.

Now that\'s what I call music Jinx.
