Title: 1970 S2 UK RHD now in US for Sale on eBay $30K
Post by: Vegantune on Monday,March 27, 2023, 01:22:42 PM

Claims a noteworthy owner history. Does look pretty spiffy with fresh red paint and tires. Significant restoration work to go with significant price tag. "Q" SN puts invoice around 2Q/1970.

How knowledgable is this dealer to not make mention of the Cross-Flow engine upgrade?
Not highly worked over, single carb, but I would think it a very significant point.
For the price I think all points in its favor need to be listed.

I own and regularly drive a RHD Land Rover.
Not a big deal but left turn vision can be awkward.
I am sure it is worse in a Europa since they are not noted for rear vision even in LHD.
Surprised someone went to the expense of shipping it here for sale.

Title: 1970 S2 UK RHD Back on eBay But Now Asking $18K
Post by: Vegantune on Wednesday,April 26, 2023, 10:24:53 PM

Back yet again for sale again on eBay, only this time with price cut way down from $30K to $18K. Not seeing anything removed except $$ to buy.

If you can live with RHD (I used to work in England...) this could be a sweet deal. Just gotta watch those left turn curbs with one in the US. But then you gotta watch curbs and potholes anywhere driving a Europa.

Seems a swap to LHD should be fairly "simple" but not an overnight task.

I'm thinking of selling two of my S2 projects and offer on this one. I own a RHD Morgan Plus4 so this is no problem for me.
