The coupe's got caps on the number plate screws at least !

Showing good oil pressure when hot at idle

Like pearlescent but I'd be a bitch if it needed any paintwork.

Nice car

Will have to buy more hats. £8(!)995. Just wow

I like that Pearl Coupe. Not fussed on the wheels, Pearl Aeros would be more my type of thing.

Shame to see an S2 like that, especially an early fully loaded one like that.

I like the attention to detail in the photos for the S2.
You’d think opening the door or at least the window before taking photos of the interior wouldn’t be that big an ask.

The weeds set it off wonderfully.

I like the wheels on the Coupe, I think it’s a great thing that people think there’s a shout of selling one of these at that sort of price. If it sells it’s only a positive for the rest of us already in there.

Pros and cons I think, ok if you are selling a car you might stand to make on it, especially if you have bought cheap. There will be a knock on though as the prices of parts will follow suit. It's no coincidence that ur quattros now cost a bomb to maintain as well as buy. Likewise with the S2, parts specific to those cars can be astronomical.
I've always appreciated the fact that I have been able to maintain, upgrade and play around with my B3 "on a budget" so to speak, perhaps those days are close to being over?

Now we're talking!

Yes I can see that side of the argument but I hope we’re some distance away from that point yet.
Look at that red 20v Coupe Quattro that’s been up for sale for months at about £4K thats gone nowhere.

Which is what boggles the mind with both this white one and that black 90. I'm still at no more than £3,500 on any of them!!!

There’s some funny prices!
Rising prices are a double edged sword as they both become more desireable as breakers but also worth keeping alive long term.
