Default S1 rs turbo info

hi

does anyone have any info on what possibly could be a pretty rare s1

its on a b reg and has a blow by carb turbo engine

Im lead to believe this could have been an expensive option on an xr3 or could possibly be...as im told one of only 200 pre produxtion cars

iv been doing a bit of reading and there is no evidence to back up it could be a homologation of any sort and has more likely been converted or opted for at new

how can i tell if its a genuine s1 rs turbo even though it sounds more like its a turbod Xr3 and if so if it was opted foe at new...will there be an id plate of any sort?

I understand the battery tray and washer bottle are located differently?

can i tell anything of the chassis plate?

the log book i suppose would be a give away to

i have not seen the car yet...just going by what iv told but id like to get as much info on what it is or isn't

cheers

if its a s1 it will have gcab at the start of the chassis number
sounds like an old ford motorsport conversion for the xr3 challenge cars

XR's have GCAB in the chassis number too

The part of the VIN plate (bottom left) there's a box marked 'type' , if it's ABET then it's a S1/XR3I , ABA is XR3
