Default YELLOW SPEC C

Hello Peeps, a while ago i saw a thread on SN about a Yellow Spec C Bugeye and i cant really remember what it was about?

Reason why i ask is that i am being offered a yellow Spec C and i'm not sure if its the same one

This one is a 53 Reg, anyone remeber what that thread was about?

MANY THANKS

I believe you are talking about an S202. One was for sale on eBay not so long I believe.

Bugeye on a 53 plate?

Didn't they stop making them in 2002? Unless it is a late registered one.

There is a yellow S202 that is not really a S202 so be careful. Originally it came from KTC

if this is the one from KTC, i rang them up about it and was gonna go see it.

That was until i did a few searches on here and found out it wasnt quite right.

If its same car, it was on ebay a whilea go.

Wonder why the owner wants shot of it???

It's a Spec C, but not an S202. I think I read somewhere that it may actually have been a blobeye originally but then after an accident got rebuilt with a bugeye front end.
