Default S2 or S1 restoring?

Hi
Its that time of year when the rst is going into storage, and this year I have decided to restore it. But lately I have gotten into my head that I should ditch the S2 and get a S1 and do that instead.
"only" problem is that I have loads of stuff for the S2 lying around (90 spec bumper and spoiler, alloy rad, pro alloy IC etc)
Or is it just me that have gotten it into my head that it will be more fun to own an S1

Note, its a left hand drive S1.. don't see many of these around

A LHD S1 will never be worth what a RHD car would be and it will be more expensive to insure. I would stick with the S2 as it sounds like you have a few bits kicking about already.

Saying that I'm thinking of an S1 myself next summer to complete my RST collection

This is some pictures of the car.
Obviously it will be restored but it doesn't seem like its in that bad shape does it?

Cliff: No idea but they are horrible. Anyway the car has been sold and went for £750, and I missed the chance to get it so its on with the S2.. but somehow I feel like I might have missed out on something
