I owned B656JRM for 2 years back in the 1990's I think it was from 1992 to 1994. I was the 2nd or 3rd owner, cant remember exactly now. I bought it from a dealer who had it in storage for over 5 years. It had 26K on the clock when I got it and it had been in local police storage in Cleveland suspected stolen for a couple of years previous but never proven.
It had been fire damaged under the bonnet but had been cleaned up very well. The plastic clutch adjuster failed one day and when I replaced it I found a melted adjuster on the pedal. If you opened the bonnet you can see that there is no sealer around the offside strut turret, and under the offside wheel arch there was fire damage under there too.
I dropped the suspension and fitted Koni adjustables to it, nylon PTFE bushes were fitted all round and also steel braided brake hoses and uprated discs. It was an awesome car back in the day. Sold it and bought a Sapphire Cossie, had that for over 3 years and then became responsible and sold that to buy a house after getting banned with it.
Is the S1 still around? Would like some digi photos of it if any one has any. Only have hard copies of photos as I never had a digital camera back then.
Cheers
Phil
