Default The 6631 mile Series 1 RS Turbo

Hi All,

THANK YOU! for you kind comments.

I purchased the car just over a year ago having owned a 37,000 S1 for 12 years. I payed Ł12,000 and have recently had a couple of offers over Ł17,000. These S1's really do hold there money so lets keep them alive.

Seeing is believing she really is a piece of fords history and even smells brand new when you open the door. This car is truley untouched in every way the only things that have been changed are the battery and exhaust although I do have both original S1 parts.

I have been in two minds to concours her but that would mean stripping it down and I really don't think I could do that to her.

Once again a big thank you to every body who has posted comments.

I'd have sold it at 17k tbh.
Even tho I love them, I think you got it about the right price.

Hi Shawn,

Yeah it is alot but I never bought it to make money or sell, question is where do you get another 6K S1? I can't see there being to many more left of this mileage.

The pictures don't do it justice - When you see it in the flesh it's awesome.

Keep up the great work on the S1 database.

Cheers

Thanks Stuart.

That's a nice clean one you have as well. I just love those 3 spoke RS steering wheels, I currently got that on mine!
