Hi there, I am new to the forum but it seemed like the best site to join. I am after a Series 1 RS Turbo. I first drove one in 1986, it was C777 JJX.

It has taken me this long to be in a position to have a weekend/fair weather car.

I am after a nice car, not concors or anything, just one I can be proud of and keep for a long time.

I am also curious if C777 JJX is still out there.

So, anyone out there with a nice car who is wanting to sell, get in touch.

Cheers Nick

 

you have pm

 

Thanks for the PM, it is more than I have to spend at this moment in time. I will have to re-think how much I have to spend to get a car as nice as yours

Cheers Nick

 

I viewed one yesterday but it wasn't the one for me, still looking though.

I am unable to make this weekends show which is a shame, there may be a few on offer there.

Hopefully I will find one before the summer ends!!!

Cheers Nick

 

hi mate c777jjx hasnt been taxed since 1993 so either scrapped/broken or could be in storage somewhere

The vehicle details for C777 JJX are:

Date of Liability 01 02 1993
Date of First Registration 29 11 1985
Year of Manufacture 1985
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1597CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour WHITE
Vehicle Type Approval null

 

I am beginning to think this is not as easy as you might think, people after top money for not so good cars, people not getting in touch when they say they will, now there are a few of us in a queue waiting to buy a nice S1.
If I had the petrol money back Ive spent looking at cars I would be able to afford a mint one!!!!

Nick.

 

whats your budget matey, will give people something to go on

 

I am not too keen on giving out my budget but I will be looking to spend more than £3k. I don't want to be offered over priced ones that ain't that good if you know what I mean.

This will be a car to keep though, mid life crisis at 40 and all that.

Cheers Nick

 

you wont get a really good one for that price mate s2 are going for more than that i know of a s1 thats going for 7 grand and its like new

 

Nick,

Keep looking it took me about two and a half years to find the right one

regards

nick

 

I am the proud owner of a very nice S1 now, I will post some pictures when I work out how to !!!!

Cheers Nick

I paid £4K, but I am very pleased.

Cheers Nick
