RS Shawn: I think Dieter has got more than 1 car.

About Guido's caged race style beast:

I've seen this car in reality last year (EFE Landgraaf, with mine the only S1 there) and this is not only looking like a beast, it IS a beast. It is an original 1985 group A car with ±250 BHP!

Is still is 1600cc an the noise is great, all original Ford group A tuning parts.
I guess only the place in the engine bay is the same as standard, all parts such as engine, gear box, turbo, intercooler etc have been replaced at the time with tuned parts.

About the articles: in general they like the S1, but think the handling is quit a handfull and it uses too much fuel as well. Also they pity that there is no power at the bottom of the rev range, but in total more than enough power. Of course this is a 1985 opinion.

Cheers, Dimitri.
