Top motor mate. Lovely car and a credit to AJC, and now you.
Didn't know that Andy had actually sold it tho until I just read this

Cheers for all the comments guys

Given the condition and work thats gone into the car by Andy and the owner before him i would challange anybody to want to sell it, but i had been on the hunt for a good S1 for a fair amount of time Its not perfect the car but its not very far off it and to be honest ive totally fallen in love with it to the extent that the girl i was seeing hasnt seen me in 3 weeks

The car is going for a rollers session on the 3rd june hopefully we can breath a bit of magic on her while im there.

After that its getting some body work done (neons and a strobe in each wheelarch, aye Andy you thought i was kidding eh!! ).

As for the black S1 in the siggy, that was princess Di's car im not a fan of the royals and honestly wish some one would rid us of the parasites but the cars a stunner The only S1 ford built in black, by special order.

Erm dunno what else i can tell.....erm......fook knows

Oh aye, Alex whats your honest opinion?

Is it yours tho, or just because you like the pic?? I know about the car, but didn't realise it was that one.
Didn't know that Jeff had sold it if you do now own it.

very very verty nice, i fucking love this car, spent so many hours cleaning
and working on it,

i think what also made it so hard to sell was the fact that i had spent
so many hours building the car to what it is today,

was a sad day for me, but hey, now i have a quicker cossie

will post up my favourite pictures of it

I can't say anything about that can I?? I collect S1 pics ffs !

That top photo is my favourite pic of the car too Think it must be the contrast with the white paintwork and wicked wheels against the bleak sky
(altho I do like this moving shot as well)

I think it's just the angle of dangle as I have another pic from the mag shoot looking straight down that side & it looks to be ok in that pic.

Pete, use a new stanley knife blade to remove the sticker, the brake
cleaner will remove all the sticky residue, just don get it on the paint work
