Pete I'll keep my eyes open for one. Such a shame as one was for sale for a while a year or so ago. From memory it was an occasional forum users car who lived in London. He did not have it long but I think fitted KW3 suspension to it.

If you can find some posts by him you may track down the sale thread with some contact details and he may give you some info on who bought it ?

I think 1 was in Wakefield again about a year ago and for sale for ages.

An OGII S54 came up about 2 years ago in Southampton, i actually viewed it and it looked tidy. As far as I remember it stayed for sale for months and sold very cheap because of the color! keep your eyes open, i'm sure one will come up eventually

It was great while it lasted.

Hope you all have great zedding lives and please drive sensible.

Oxford green II is a beautiful colour.. I used to have a 2.0 in that colour and loved it to bits. If you are patient enough an OGII S54 ///MR will probably come up for sale eventually. Meanwhile if you would consider an S50, there will also be some OGII examples out there too.

I was looking an OGII or an Imola ///M before I bought my car, and like many members on here to find the "right" car you have to be prepared to spend mornings, lunchtimes and evenings searching online and in newpapers/magazines. I spent a year or more finding my Imola red S50 ///MR, but it was worth it. Really worth it.

I wish you luck in your search.

Kind regards
