thanks everyone.

spent an hour going over it again last night, checking and double checking.

took it out and listened to the engine cold and warm.

good 25mile drive home. Felt great pulled beter than my S2 did.

i paid £3.5k for the S1 last night, b-reg. Been scouring the car this morning and its in superb condition, just a scab under the left headlight.
and a scab appering on the tail gate.

all original panels.........will get some pics up soon.
love this over my S2, a true classic car!!
