Right, you and Stu need to look up another S202 that came to a few meets back years ago known as the flying banana.

Wonder if its still around
I do know a little about it already, I believe is was an ex Zerosports Japan development car and was far from standard.

I think it was possibly 1 of 2 yellow S202's to make it to these shores, and the owner smashed it up / wrote it off quite a few years back.

I also know that Dave from ESP actually sold it to the guy who wrote it off, and of course that it was known as the flying banana.

Though to get the car abit quicker, put the car in a 20ft container and you'll have it over here with 6 weeks. There are weekly sailings from Japan and it'll cost you about $1100 USD for the container port to port. Its what i do.

It'll cost you about another £350/400 to get it from the port to a local warehouse and cleared and its yours. :-)
The importer are taking care of all that Mat but I appreciate the pointers, I am in no rush as when it gets over here it will be going to Ryan for some minor paint issues to be addressed plus a full service inc every serviceable item on the car.

Yes it is, and with a lot less mileage on it as well.

The heater control panel will either need replacing or at the very least some prep and painting by Ryan, apart from that it's in very good condition from an 11 year old car.

It's not in bad condition is it Rob?

As for a Gymkhana session you ain't putting a harness and bridle on me, try Gibzy he likes to dress up like Mr Block perhaps he can drive like him too.

Thanks Simon, yes I couldn't stay away from the fuglies.

You will have to wait though to see it in person as it won't even arrive in the UK for at least 6 weeks yet.

I know that feeling Simon, we are both past masters at waiting for cars due to common reasons. This will seem like a minor interlude in comparison to past events.

Thanks Dean, only a few very minor cosmetic touches required and a full service and brake strip down.

Thanks Shaun, I knew you'd drop Lee like a bad habit when either a Bugeye STi wagon or S202 came along.

That's lovely and clean Ty!

It's lovely that its a very very limited car, but the spoiler and wheels aren't to my taste, but I suppose that's what makes it in the limited run.

You'll have to bring it up the black mountains for a blast

Didn't take long then


Looks a nice example Ty as does Stu's

Fair play to the welsh lads we got some well decent cars

So that's a S202, S204, type 25 hawk in red, type 20 hawk, plus all the well sorted and cared for cars like pricey's Spec D and Lee's white hawk to name but a few, quite a picture that's gonna make at one of the meets

Look forward to seeing it Ty, never know you may even make the shows next year
