Numbers built differ very much. Here is a table where you can see how few of the S1 24soupapes were built:

Btw: on the 24v picture of the engine the air intake tube from filter to engine is missing.

Pictures of 12v are belong to 2010 and it has switched three owners after that. Current owner doesn't want to sell it for now. But I can put pressure on him. :)

For me, that 12v looks like the one I would go for if it's still like that now.

There's not, although there are some CX-ers on here that can help out.

What do you want to know about CXs?

Buy on condition, not spec level is all I can say.

You could spend ages waiting for a Pallas to come along and it could be in evil condition needing a lot of work.

If it's that well maintained then the 20TRE sounds good to me...

Got any pics?
