Series 1 RST was it a good buy?
As many may have seen,a few days ago i was asking for a valuation on a S1 RST.
Just been to see it...needs a bit of body work..not rot related though!!!!Very solid as its been sat in a garage for years......not been run for a while but has a cold start fault...interior ok.
I offered the bloke £500 and he took it
Now i think i got a bargain,can i go wrong at that price?
As Sapphire is being broken up this will be my runner...so RS Owner again...be prepared for lots of dumb questions and my DIY story

Well...it needs work...but the chassis is solid,even the wheel arches 
Could do with a bonnet repair and a bit of paint..other than that really tidy...and its all there.
Before it was laid up it had new discs/pads/shoes a rebuilt gearbox,came with a few spares...does need a set of tyres but hey they aint dear.
Yeah i think right time job.....it was a friend of a friends i known about the car for a while...and did say i was interested ages ago..but he didnt wanna sell...now he decieded too..and gave me first refusal cause he knows it will get restored back to its former glory..i didnt buy it to make a profit...S1's are dear to me as it was my second car...i had a Mexico mk1 as a first car at 17 then an S1 at 18...
