My S was 11 years old on the 3rd of this month and it's never been a better car to drive.

Sure, it has a few marks and scrapes and creaks, but that just adds to the character as it's driven hard when I use it.

Surely there can't be many more older than this in the UK still?

 

Congrats !

Mine was 11 yrs old on 13th September.

11 years and 4 months.

 

VIN #690! Still going strong (touch wood) and still on the original roof (reminds me, must fit hard top this weekend).

 

Excellent!

chassis 355 on mine

 

Mine's 1036, so not quite as old. While yours would have been on a boat to Europe, mine was already being driven in Japan.

Of course mine's a bit like Trigger's broom these days. Engine, gearbox and suspension all changed. Original roof too though.

 

there was clearly something special about the earlier roofs, as mine is an original too

 

#339 here and engine #88

Have all paperwork for the car and it was preordered from the show when they announced production of the car (cant remember which off the top of my head?)

 

hmmm - I wonder if im a contender for the oldest S!

T-reg

Ive got a Jap chassis number of AP1-1001975
engine number of f20c-1002032

 

Good to hear Brian....
