I owned B656JRM for 2 years back in the 1990's I think it was from 1992 to 1994. I was the 2nd or 3rd owner, cant remember exactly now. I bought it from a dealer who had it in storage for over 5 years. It had 26K on the clock when I got it and it had been in local police storage in Cleveland suspected stolen for a couple of years previous but never proven.

It had been fire damaged under the bonnet but had been cleaned up very well. The plastic clutch adjuster failed one day and when I replaced it I found a melted adjuster on the pedal. If you opened the bonnet you can see that there is no sealer around the offside strut turret, and under the offside wheel arch there was fire damage under there too.

I dropped the suspension and fitted Koni adjustables to it, nylon PTFE bushes were fitted all round and also steel braided brake hoses and uprated discs. It was an awesome car back in the day. Sold it and bought a Sapphire Cossie, had that for over 3 years and then became responsible and sold that to buy a house after getting banned with it.

Is the S1 still around? Would like some digi photos of it if any one has any. Only have hard copies of photos as I never had a digital camera back then.

Cheers

Phil

There you go, before the days of digital cameras. If any one has any more of it would appreciate a look at them.

Both cars come with a story!

I'd love to find old owners of my car to see what's happened to it in the past.

^ Info available via DVLA for £5. No guarantee they will still live at the old addresses though.

aye it was on gumtree, it was his mates white one. anyway the zvh is out and its a s1 engine in it. it has s2 manifolds and a hearts and diamonds ecu (90 spec?)

anyway, the boost pipes werent on and the ht leads were on the wrong way. the plug to the amal valve and temp sender are no where to be found? the vac pipe from amal valve to actuator is also missing.

sat the boost hoses on and sorted the ht leads and it started briefly but the fuel gauge is below the red so betwen that and the slack boost pipes im hoping is why she wont run
