had green algae and leaves all over it,
rust all over, Rear valance, Doors, tailgate, it had new wings that were
the worst colour match and were not decalled. it was a mess,
so i thought id knock on the door as they might not want much for it,
the bloke comes to door and says 'absolutely no less than 2 grand'
and i were gobsmacked, NO MOT, NO TAX and a hell of a lot of work
to be done so i walked away.
so if any one wants a project s1, there one in Southport.
forgot to say, he said engine had been rebuilt?
new turbo and gearbox?
Thats a sad story there, maybe the guy feels it has some sentimental value to him, or its the old 'ill restore it someday' story, sounds like a total waste of a car if you ask me
There was this S1 my mate told me of sitting on someones driveway for a few years, was in a little village about 10 mins drive from my house.
C reg non custom it was (think the reg was C30/34 BGT something like that) apparentley it had been up for sale for like £2400 a while back but then some lowlifes pinched the front seats and bumper trims and he'd just left it to rot
guy just used it to block his driveway when he went on holiday
It looked fairly sound (though the bodywork was a shade of moss green), had RS500 wheels and 16i steering wheel and reportedly a trick 240bhp engine, but the guy wouldnt sell.
Think that was about two years ago, sadly the other month i drove past and it was gone, i wonder what happened to it?
