except there wasn't a 2.4S in 1970
so basically it's a 1969 S shell chopped about bit to make it into an Impact bumper look a like + modified to take a 915 box & a 1973 2.4S engine.
It's a real bitza. Nice car in it's own right, but can't really be advertised as a 2.4S or even as a 1969 / 70 S. Considering this I think it should be valued slightly less than a decent Carrera RS rep ( the pre-73 look being more desirable) ?

Agree wholeheartedly with James, nice car but the impact bumper front wings and bumper spoil it for me, plus the fact that its a mix & match of 2.4, 2.2, etc, and maybe a left to right conversion ?

Without seeing the car in the flesh and giving it a run round the block , it appears to be in the right asking price bracket for an RS look a like with new bits and good paint.
The original '69S chassis has been minimised (!) and updating it/downgrading it to impact bumper look maybe goes against the market. Hopefully its an S gearbox with LSD as well as an S engine. The ad is silent on brakes and suspension upgrade so the car might be slower than it looks
FWIW , I did pay similar money almost 2 years ago for a 1969E coupe with rebuilt 1972 2.4S engine and box , and with lots of updated suspension and brake components.....a bitza under the skin ....but I guess not the same proposition as this car.

I went to have a look at this car at the weekend - needs a lot of work to finish. Has MFI issues, no real evidence of engine rebuild etc. Has been converted left to right and not very nicely. Came into the uK i the eighties from US and was then turbo bodied. I dont reckon its worth more the £15k most.
