Hello, me first post on the forum...yey!

I am the owner of the above Series 1 RST, just wondering if anyone has any info on her?

Been after a series 1 for ages, but unfortunatly need to sell her now though, but just interested to know a wee bit more history of her!

Cheers[/list][/list]

 

If this is the S1 I think it is then as much history on her people would be really apperciated as Im looking at buying her

 

Vehicle details
Manufacturer Ford
Model ESCORT RS TURBO
Body type 3 door hatchback
Colour White
Fuel type Petrol
Date manufactured 31 December 1985
Number of previous owners 19
Last owner change 15 January 2005



How many owners!! Thats an owner every year!

 

Is that a big NO NO then with having so many owners as there is no service history with the car???? The chap selling it seems really genuine but just a little concerned with the high number of owners n no history

 

I wouldn't worry about the owners. Just give it a damn good servicing if you decide to buy it - cambelts etc.

They tend to have a lot of owners for different reasons - they're not really an everyday car you can park up in town every night. Insurance killed off a lot of owners in the 80's & 90's too. I'm the 8th owner of my car, but luckily mine's had an uneventful and respectful life with all the previous owners....

As for service history - I went to Ford with mine and the service manager scratched his head and said he had no idea what to charge for a service as he hadn't seen one in years. These cars tend to be enthusiast owned now, and hence much of the servicing is done "at home...."

History gets lost, receipts get lost - it's unfortunate but it happens to 20 year old cars with lots of owners....

They're not the most practical (or reliable) car these days either.

Only question I would be asking is why is it for sale when the new owner has only had it for a couple of months.....

If it's a good one then snap it up. Just be carefull......

 

B reg non custom that car is afaik. looks clean from the pic i saw of it!

I also have one in Glasgow, not for sale though, had someone leave a note on my wiper asking me to sell, if you want i'll pm you the number and you can ask the boy if he's interested?

 

Yeah my Old car as featured in Aprils Fast Ford












Speak to Paul at North York RS Spares he has the service history on her

 

not the same one i was thinking of! doh.

 

Very nice....

 

man mint all around nice s1

 

Can't believe it's sold for less than 3k someone has just got a absolute bargin

 

I went to look at this when i was after a mint one. I don't know a great deal about the S1's, i just luv em and always wanted one. My 2 guys that went with me are EXTREMELY knowledgable however and they said to leave it alone after climbing all over it for a good 1/2 hour ! We did'nt even take it out. I was after a minter mind you ! Don't get me wrong, it's not a dog but its not as stunnin as the pics suggest if you are after a minter. It is a nice car but at the rite price ! Was up for 5.5K but not worth near that.
S1 rs turbo/ lee thefirst. Will PM you if you request with info my guys gave me bout the car.

 

Cheers Dry thanks for the offer but he has now sold it To be fair to the seller he was very honest with the description and mentioned that it was overpriced before. Believe me he has sold it for alot lot less than 5.5k and I think the new owner will have a bargain, well thats if it goes through the MOT with no problems as the MOT was up on her

 

the car was sold to S1 rs turbo via ebay for 4.5k back in January
it looks like it just sold on ebay for less than 3k

the car could've been broken up for more than 3k alone.

I paid 4.5k for it when i brought it and i spent a fortune on it so i lost on it everyone trys to make the most they can on any car they buy and sell on

 

No worries lee. Gone for a much fairer price me thinx.

 

Well, a did sell it for a helluva lot less than a paid, but a think a paid over the odds for it to start

Just fell in love wi it when a saw it, and paid what the boy wanted, and would still have it now if it wasn't for the fact a cant afford to run and insure to cars

Will deffo get a Series 1 in the future tho, a love them!

Thanks to everyone for the info on it tho

 

S1 rs turbo. Will PM you some info i have bout the car if ya want. Now it's not yours anymore.

 

just outta interest did it get sold to a guy from down my way???

 

What info did you have mate - helps if it comes up for sale again....

 

It went to a guy in Bathgate mate

 

Was that S1 pictured above just featured in last months Fast Ford? Looks bad without the overriders on the front!
