Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
To be honest I'd be quite interested if it was a bit cheaper & very interested if it had S3 suspension.
However... those wheels on the car look like 4 lug wheels, which kind of implies that its running S2 4x108?

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Oh for some reason I thought S3 was 5x114.3.
Live & learn!
I got some more pictures, & it does look smart inside, and underneath looks reasonable as well.
Just the price that's a bit excessive for a none runner.
And I'm always suspicious of rebuilt engines that aren't yet running.
