Default Who are the S1 Turbo Experts on Here? (History Wise)

As title, who are the real knowledge bases on Series 1 Turbos?

Need to discuss the value of a couple of very rare cars with someone who would know about this?

Cheers Guys. I did stumble across their site and had PM's Moza as he looked like the main man!

Hopefully he will get back to me and help out value a couple of cars for me.

Just 2 cars that have come up as part of a collection.

I would consider them probably 2 of the rarest S1's ever produced and even luckier to be alive and kicking today.

Unless they are Princess Di's black one, the one Red customer car ( that was white underneath still ), the datapost press car ( also white under the red ) or the mercury grey one ( also white underneath ) then i'd say that statement isnt quite true.

Would be dead interesting to see what you have turned up tho

One i know of

Datapost series one, group A 1985 season touring car, driver Richard Longman


The data post press car, how it looked in its day

as it is now after resto (such a shame!)


one of the better known rallye cars, cant remember current reg?


the only one to be painted grey from factory


princess di's, black from factory


I cant think of anyothers apart from the 20-30 odd ones which started life as rallye/racing cars, with various private owners/racers??

would be interesting to know what cars your talking off, as i has to be one of the above, surley? there arent any more are there?

The patrick car has been privately owned for years, nowt special other than its condition and mileage

It has also appeared on Top Gear and he was invited to the queen's birthday celebrations with it or something a few years ago!
