Default "WoW" You must see this!!!!!!

How lucky is my mate!!

I thought i was one of only a few people
in west Yorkshire with a S1 RS Turbo

But much to my amazement i bumped into my
mate, who has got not one but TWO S1's
and he only lives 1/4 of a mile away from me

The white one is a genuine 30,000 miles from new
and the other well need i say anymore

I'm so Jealous

I thought it looked the same as an rs16i but couldn't find a picture to check. The middle bit looks the same but it's the part that goes up the side of the arch that puzzled me

You're right mate, I've just realised that the part that I thought was the bit that goes up the wheel arch is actually the cut out for the front bumper to go into.

You'll get there in the end mate, they are lovely cars though!

Any spec on the Grey one? IIRC Shawn said there was only one and it was being re-built to a very high standard!

Not made any more now mate, I'd just keep checking in for sale sections and ebay. I think oddkid may have a set of full clears that you could paint half red.

The grey one was in Fast Ford years ago. C199 LGF. It was originally whit ebut the first owner didn't want white so sent it back to the factory to be stripped back and painted grey. Remember seeing the car and thinking how nice it looked in that colour

Yes Dan, that's the one.
As Oranoco said, this was originally white, but the first owner didn't want it in that colour so got Ford to re-paint it in grey before he took delivery.

The white one is low mileage and is a good spec also.
Both quality cars
