Nice find, looks like it might have a safari roof on it too, looks like a fun project car that
Yeah...was a bit confused by the roof :

Was last taxed in '83, but no idea how long it has been stationary. Need to track down the owner now.

Yeah, the safari roofs are double skinned to keep the heat out in summer and reduces condensation in cold weather. The odd things fitted in the roof in your pictures are extra vents to help keep the occupants cool.

I absolutely love those old S2 wagons, I'd love one myself!
 
Cheers for that. Don't see over-heating as a major problem in the Highlands.....wonder where it has been in its life? Know where I am going tomorrow tho'..
 
Looks nice, BUT it will be a money pit. Would hazard a guess it has been up in the highlands all its life going by the reg plate.

Once you start stripping it down you will find more and more... Those Rear Doors for instance look shagged. Replacements are not cheap! B Posts are similar.

Looks like it was orginally a desiel before the engine was taken out :)
 
Aye, all five doors are shagged, but curiously, the glass is all intact! N/s B pillar shagged..o/s "looks" ok - but will take hammer with me tomorrow.
According to DVLA was 2286cc petrol
Remarkably dry inside.

petrol tha wer :)

tis a nice old find that , well worth stripping and doing , iv seen ( had ) worse and rebuilt them to former glory ;)
 
Aye if I could find one like that, I'd definitely get hold of it, even though I haven't got the time or money to do it right now, I'd definitely get my hands on it.
 
looks nice and got free wheeling hubs on aswell, would make nice project

pah, bloody free wheeling hubs, wer after market extras, waste of time, stops the oil flickin round the front diff and then it starts squeelin like a pig :eek:

and it will only save yer 8p a year on fuel any way :D
