Seeing this MK2 again was a lovely surprise. It belonged to a couple 5 mins from where I reside. It must be at least 15 years since I saw it last so I assumed it had either been scrapped or sold on. 

It seems as if it's been in continual use all these years and is still being MOT'd annually! 

Current owners since 1988.

I’m thinking the “S” is a carb model then. Interesting info, cheers.

Yes. The way Opel used to name engines was quite simple, really. N (normal) was carb, low compression . S (super) was carb, higher compression, i was injection, and D was (obviously) diesel.

At a show today. 
 

now I’m not a fan of French tat, but I like this…… mint, automatic and showing 4000 miles.

I went to a car gathering in Milton keynes yesterday evening, a bit different to my usual as it catered for all cars from 1950s Austins to Fiestas with loud exhausts and all points in between.

For this thread I picked out a Nissan Stagea, Mazda 323, Daihatsu Copen, Honda Beat, Toyota Crown, Citroen Visa, Opel Commodore and Mitsubishi Starion. I also included this beautiful Wolseley Hornet as most of the long noise/boot Minis I see are Riley Elfs.

Clearly in regular use with a kids car seat in the back
