did they make h reg S1's?

 

probably been s2 to s1 converted there was a few done round here in the mid 90s

 

No, 1991 was the last year for the late S2's, so certainly far too late for S1.

Must be a conversion. Over the top if you ask me.

 

No they didnt

 

think the last origianl s1 are on a d rare as r h shit

 

Yeah the last was on a D reg

 

The car has been on ebay many times, think he's stuck with it.

 

It looks nice even if its a S1 or S2

 

bit over priced imo even if if really clean

 

its got S2 mirrors....why change everything to S1 an leave the mirrors heated screen & green tint windows too, so deffo an S2 converted.

 

fooking hell is that still about not seen or heard of this for a good few years yeh i think it was a 1990 s2 converted in to a s1 remember it used to be at the b'ham tracks on the sat night.

 

And S1's never had heated front screens.............not saying that can't be done but that's a S2..............

 

why he took pics of his pc screen

 

I was thinking that he's took the pictures uploaded the them to his pc then taken pic's of it on his pc then uploaded them again

 

This is what I got back from the vehicle check on the RAC website:

Manufacturer FORD
Model ESCORT RS TURBO
Body type 3 DOOR HATCHBACK
Colour WHITE
Fuel type PETROL
Date manufactured 31 December 1991
Number of previous owners 3

Definately a Series 2! I'm gonna message the thick cunt!

 

This is what I wrote to him

"Sory mate by why are you blatantly trying to sell a Series 2 as a Series 1!?
Everyone knows that Series 1's finished official production in 1986 on a 'D' Plate! You'd be better off advertising the car as what it is rather than something it's actually not!"

 

This was on ebay about 7 months back but with proper pictures. Something FISHY!

 

What the money he tells you some jackanory about why it's on a H plate

 

He's had all the stick before, as he was selling it as a S1.
It was up for 6.5k one time. Its got a S2 Dash aswell.

 

Question is, did HE know it was a S2 parading as an S1 when he brought it ??????


Whilst I appreciate an S1 is more valuable ( and arguably more desirable) than an S2. Still dont understand why someone would butcher an S2 to produce a mongrel RS which I doubt anyone (who done at least 30 seconds of research) would pay anywhere near top dollar for.

 

Replied, he loves passionford...

The reply:
"hello mate you obviously can't read. were does it say in the ad series 1 I've looked again and can't see were it says that. it is advertised as a h reg rs turbo if i am not mistaken. it was built from new in 1991 from a series 2 Shell thanks for the interest though now go and post that on passion ford
"



My reply:

"Whats your e-mial address mate, i'll send you some pics of a proper Series 1! "

 

Another pic. Been around ebay & the boards for ages. Sure the seller is a PF member...

If its series 2 why is the towing eye in the same place as a series 1 ?? A s2 has the towing eye in the middle of the car under the spare wheel ? Is this 2much work to do or car it be done easy ?

 

I think it prob has had new panels as the front ends are different mk3/mk4, so they prob replaced the back panels as well.
The pics above are the only ones that ever seem to get posted around.

 

That seems alot of hard work to me surely it would have been easier to just buy a S1 !!!!! thanks rs shawn

 

Maybe it was their pride & joy or first car but it needed work, loved the S1 look so decided to change it?

 

IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT GOES THROUGH SOME PEOPLES HEAD

 

I can see it is an s2 with S1 body panels. It could have been a late registered s1 like the J & K reg s2's that float about now n again, or the 51 plate sierra cossie. Are there any odd s1's like this floating around?

 

I'm almost 100% that it's been confirmed before as a mk4 with mk3 panels fitted.

There is an E plate ex-rally car floating about. It was mag featured in '05 or '06. Surpisingly I don't seem to have any pics on my comp of it tho

 

messy ur right matty been much easier get series 1 why convert series 2 to 1

 

In that rear view pic, the driver's side wheel looks to be pointing inwards
