Proceed with caution. It may turn out to be genuine... but I wouldn't bet on it. Meet Lynda and husband at their house and check documentation carefully before you hand over any money. Don't give them your address, either...
Cheers,
Stu

The 2.1 is a really sweet engine, and plenty tuneable.
The 12 valve head is a bit weak and doesn't actually breathe that well, but it's still a beast of an engine. Especially in the S2 with the electronic pump.

The 2.5 was thirsty, not really anymore powerful, sounds like a tractor, has TWO fucking radiators, the tuning potential is very limited, and it has TWO fucking balance shafts.
Wank design, wank engine.
