Less were registered on a D plate so are rarer but not worth any more money IMO. I'm sure there was an ex press car that was registered on an E plate too

There is only a handfull of D plate ones left under 20 iirc. RSShawn from the S1 forum has one of them.

Imo they are no more sought after than a B or C plate car in the same condition.

Possibly remove 50 of the Sept - Dec 86 cars as being S2's and that gives roughly 1020 UK S1 cars.
