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.

Thanks to RST for posting pics, very much appreciated. Your comments regarding engine builder also very helpful. Kind regards John.

johnlboyer

Hi, I think it is to do with the blue pipe connected to the charge manifold, shown in engine bay picture.

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!!

studabear

the st170 brakes mite not fit under standard wheels?

very nice car otherwise

johnlboyer

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.

no worrys mate.

matts1

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.

johnlboyer

Yes I know. Not to bothered about moving it quick, its not eating anything.

johnlboyer

Hi, nobody want this car then?.Better get it tucked up for the winter.

matts1

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!!

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

pm to you john.

johnlboyer

Hi mate,thank you for your kind words. I have been called an OLD boy racer recently, and was sort of pleased. I still drive faster than many people of my age, but I dont tear the guts out of my cars. I took my oldest son, who is in his mid forties, for a ride in the 3 door and scareed the s--- out of him. He is a Beemer owner and thought his car was quick. I have now retired , so I dont want to destroy any of my cars or my bike. I now have the time to look after them as they all deserve. Regards John.

johnlboyer

Thanks mate, a lot of you out there know this car and are probably as keen as me to see it go to another good home. I am getting on a bit now, and resisted getting involved with Cosworths, but it was something I just had to do. One outstanding ambition is to own a V8 engined car. I have loved the magic of V8s since I was around 20 years old. My daughters boyfriend has a 5 litre TVR Chimeara. It wouldnt catch the Cossie, but has a sort of magic about it. Who knows, plenty out there. Regards John.

AQUA68

pm'd you a final offer John. regards

the saint

iTrader: (1)

Yes, and a nice ST24. Thanks for your kind words, Regards John.
