hi all, im not a regular on your turbo site but i am on the 16i site,
i need all yours help, i been offered an c reg s1 non custom, no mot or tax, had same ownr 10 years, needs restoration but its mostly all there, has 4 inch stainless exhaust, engine been polished and ported, 4 spoke, not running at present, i can have it for £500, want to do a resto on it, but dont know if its worth it even tho its a non custom.
need help asap, might buy it tonight.
thanks all,Bryan

non customs are worth more mate and 500 sounds like a bargain!!!! if u dont buy it let me know and i will, s1's kick ass id swap my s2 for one anyday

paul cox

bryan,

what sort off mileage has it got on it ????

and what history ???

be good to check out numbers,etc -if its all there,will be worth quite a bit

speak to the rsoc registers

escortmad79

You need to ask if it's worth it? lol

If the parts are in good nick you could make more than £500 by breaking it...but that's a bad idea!

Too many ERSTs being broken

its done 84,000 miles and hasnt got any history, engine is apparantley running
will view it again tomorrow, a resto job, is it alot of hassle

if your going to do it yourself - its a good project

but it takes alot of time,i did a quick job on my 16i

if you got the dosh - better to buy one,unless you got tons of free time !!!!

tvr t340r

just thought it was quite rare as its a non custom,
will have to wait till tomorrow and have another look,
your s2 is concourse, did you restore it or was that mint to start off with

paul cox

my S2 has not had any panel work done,at all

i got it like it - just did all the underside myself & more stuff under the engine bay,yes it is concourse & it lives outside & its got over 90k on the clock !!!

i'd say its quite rare - but is it worth saving ??? - when you can get some good S1's out there !!!

Quickie

Depends if your prepared to spend some cash or not

paul cox

quickie - your not allowed on here,as you have got a S2.

but i surpose you've got ..................... (dont say it paul)

escortmad79

Ahh yes Paul, but a decent S1 will cost you between £3000 & £4500, usable ones will set you back £1500 - £3000, minters can cost £6000 - £8000!

escortmad79

tvr t try & get some pics of it & post them up if you can

Quickie

could be ages before he posts on here again and coxy shut it

tvr t340r

thanks all for the replys but the bloke sold it for £650, wea too much in my opinion
if anybody selling one that needs work, let me know as ive got cash waiting
cheers all

escortmad79

£650 is still cheap for an S1 ERST even for a breaker

rswoza

ive found one neil cheap to will view asap but looks like a spares jobbie

escortmad79

Not another S1 Dan!!!

How much?
There was a cheap one in FreeAds a few weeks ago (under £1500) but didn't ask about it cos I've got the S2 coming
