Any more information on this, is it for sale?

 

I wonder how many have gone to the scrap yard in the sky in the last 30 years.

 

Is that the low miler one you told me about??

 

well it has about 80k [he had put new clocks in that show 44k ]on it john but its had a rebuild about 5k ago ,the previous owner told me it was running about 210bhp ,front mount ,hybrid turbo etc

 

Any more information on this, is it for sale?[/quote]

i would say probably 80/90% at this stage mate

 

Text you james

 

Im from Ireland as well so might be interested when it available.

 

ok m8

 

Her is my old girl. Needing some TLC these days but she is still a good one...



And here is mine and AJC's, 1st one at Coombe in concourse and then back in May when it was first MOT'd...

 

cool daz ,is that the s1 with the cossie motor in it ?

 

No James. That is yet to be built.

We concentrated on TBJ first as that was the one Andy was funding and could be completed quicker. He has about 80% ownership of TBJ as a rough guess. I was buying a house at the time so had to divert finances away from the YB powered one to bricks and mortar, of which I am still in the process of getting in a liveable state.

My own S1 has taken a bit of a back seat over the last couple of years but I intend to get the mapping finished and a few other bits done on the car over this winter and use it for a couple of years before it gets another small restoration. The YB powered car will have to be finished before I start it though otherwise I'll be climbing the walls with nothing interesting to drive. I've been hankering after driving it all last week and all this week so far.
