how many of you would pay for a brand new rs turbo
even if the could only manage to chuck the focus rs lump in there
You could put me down for one... , and to think they started making the Beetle again in Mexico a few years back if only ford would....

I am a massive fan of concours but this would not beat the like's of Tim Dakin's (which in my mind is the best S1 around bar mine ) as it has not been tampered with in any way! It's just how it left the factory!

Like I said earlier I have been toying with the idea of concourse her but that would mean stripping her down and then she will lose all her originality!

I'm sure Ford's will be proud of her

Never ever get a spanner or screw driver even near that car.

Just leave at as it is. I wonder if Ford would be interested in it for putting it in there museum or something.

I would think it will hold it's value more if left alone and not concoursed! just a big fan of concourse!

Lovely car not unlike mine although ive 25,000 miles on mine. All original paint and panels ect was also thinking of concourse
but also i decided i didnt want to lose its originality.
Some pics of mine and other cars i own/have owned.

Hi Sean, Look after her they are becoming like gold dust with low mileage!

For any body who hasn't been to Guernsey it a very samll island around 25 miles wide so that would explain the low mileage! She was born on Guernsey, has FFSH from the same dealer which was Bourgard Bros a ford main deal on the island.

This is how she spends most of her life wrapped up in her carcoon along with a garage that's fit for a living room.

The S1 has "Ford motorsport", the "date stamp" (85/10 - October 1985 in this case) - and the "part number" stamped.

The 1600i just has "Ford motorsport"
