Due to recent purchase of Cos 3 door and owning ST24 every day driver, my Series 1 is reluctantly up for sale. Spec as follows.
1985(C)reg custom,usual custom extras ie: sunroof and opening rear quarter lights. 10 months MOT but on SORN for winter. Low compression 1600 engine fully rebuilt by G S Motorsports for previous owner. Koni adjustable shocks all round.BK Racing 17 inch black chrome alloys,fully painted underside. Mongoose ss exhaust.60 trim turbo,.48 exhaust housing.fuel mod,(like 5th injector. K&N panel filter, gearbox overhauled, AP Racing clutch. ST 170 discs and caliphers to front. Powerflex anti -rollbar bushes. Goodyear Eagles all round. Interior very tidy, body work very good. This car owed the previous owner in excess of £15k.
The engine is said to be producing circa230 bhp@1 bar(or 15 PSIof boost).
This really is one of the better S1s around, and I have only had to do minor odds and ends in my 18 month (1000 mile) ownership. I am looking for £4950. Genuine enquiries only as I have no time for tyrekicking timewasters. Please contact me with any further queries. The car is in the Portsmouth area and I am a Hampshire RSOC member.

Nice S1, as said, would look well on a set of standard wheels as those my be a bit to blingy for some, standard look seems to be the favorite look on the S1 at the moment.
Get yourself onto www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk and see if there is a cheap set for sale, plus stick your car on there for free!!

You are probably right, I dont think standard wheels would fit over ST170 stoppers. I think reverting back to standard brakes would be a backward step, but take your point about standard wheels. The next owner would need to decide on what he or she would want.

never thought of that mate, I stripped wilwood superlite 4 pots and monster discs off mine and slung on a new S2 set up on it, but power was only about 170bhp.
Price looks fair, bad time of year to sell, so don't be too disheartened at a lack of people viewing, will be spring before the market picks back up imo.

just time of year and this recession talk scaring people mate. I sold mine for 5k in a week and could have seen it go 5 times over and it was about the same as this, that was about 3 months ago, just got in before the scare started.
beauty of the S1 now is that it costs on average £200 a year!!!! fully comp to insure on a classic policy, still able to do 5k miles a year, cheap as chips!!
