Ive just been to look at a s1

Its done 89k with soooo much sh the guy that owns it works at ford and has done a full restro on it is perfect down to the paint work the way the doors fit everything but it was stolen recovered in 1991 such a shame what do you guys think I would just walk away but its just so good silly clean. He came down to £3000 I would say with out the hpi it would be a £4500 car. Dont no what to do. you just dont see meny this good

Just dont no only reason I want a aouther s1 is because I dont want to use the escos over the winter. Only thing I thinking is when one day I want to sell it.

pah, stolen and recovered yet its been fully restored. Look at the opinion of all us RS lovers.

We are the type of people who would buy it again from you, and from the looks of it you wouldnt have a problem selling it on. So if its clean, get it!

what part of it being stoeln is putting you off? engine given a hard time? its probably NOT the same engine anyway or at least been re-built!

Which is better?
A non stolen rotten or, or a stolen one that is mint?

As above, worry about its condition NOW, not what happened years ago!

Any pics/ id?
As everyone else said, buy on condition. It's already £1500 cheaper than you said it should be for a minter. Yes the stolen/ recovered is someting to think about but if it's in very good condition then take that into account on the price - which it seems it has.
