Actually, on closer inspection, that S1 is NOT a Sport 135. It may have a 135 head etc - so be it, although how will you tell - but it has the wrong seats, no decals, and a black roof.

S1 Sport 135s had Corbeau trimmed red and black cloth seats, blue hoods, S135 decals behind the doors, amongst a few other significant details not least the exclusivity of a very short production run of about 100.

Be careful if you go to see this. Not saying it's a bad car (it doesn't need much to make a standard S1 a fully fledged S135-equivalent) but you CAN'T make it the real thing, with the additional value that would bring! If it's being advertised as a Sport 135, what else are they trying to say about it that isn't strictly true...

Also, watch out for the fancy extra diffusers front and rear. In a nutshell...it's been pimped ;-)

Pit you didn't spot he's after an S2 though ;)

On the S2 Sport 135 (not the 135R), EVO rate it highly and at the time said it was the best of the S2 range.
If you're not intending tracking it, I can't see the point in holding out for a 135R and even if you did eventually want to track it, a standard car will do just fine (for a while ;) )

Ah Simon, you assume I didn't spot he was after an S2...I did, but just neglected to make explicit that I'd noticed!

You trainspotter you...

There is something magical about that 135 head, isn't there ;-)
