the only think going for it is the doors & boot which would be fine after a repaint & exhaust system

The owner wanted 2.5k for before it was paint stripped he now won't go less than 1.5k you'd be very lucky to make that back in parts if not at all

Basic story was his mate was getting a kicking he jumped into help and then both his cars got paint stripped and it the 2nd time his vectra had been done

Not even gonna go into where the place he lived was like

Shame really cause it probs was a very nice car it had loadsa RSOC history and a North Wales RSOC plaque on the dash and had been totally restored back in 1998 with agreed value of 4k back then.

It just got into the hands of scum and been destroyed
I am fukking glad you went to look at it and post all that, as I was considering getting it! I fancy another S1 (I know I shouldn't get one, but I want one!) and don't mind about the paint as I would do a couple of little body mods and have it sprayed up to look all new n shiney, but after reading all that, think I'll give it a miss

Nice one chap
