Ford stereo is too new, escort gti gearknob. Somebody has raided a scrappy and built this! I standard xr3 would be worth loads more than this thing! i hope nobody pays more than 200 quid for it. then strip it! this is better off OFF OF THE ROAD and used to keep better cars ON the road.

Fook me, with all the questions somebody still buys it for £1340!!!

You could get a half decent S2 for that money. Just check out these Q & A's with the seller......

Q: Just for your information, This RS TURBO has not got its original shell, it has a pre 1983 shell with the two bolts at the top of the front shocks. Answered on 09-Apr-05
A: Thanks for that - buyers beware as I have no interest in these cars. According to the V5 is how I listed it. Dave
Q: Hi there, Would you take 1500 cash ? on Sat ? as im looking for a S1 to restore. Answered on 07-Apr-05
A: Sorry, I cannot end the auction early, thanks for the offer. Dave
Q: hi mate want to buy the s1. can u email me your number also has it got any rot. cheers Answered on 07-Apr-05
A: Hi, No rot, telephone number 07973 265 632 call me tomorrow. Dave
Q: Is there any rust or rot on the car, is the recaro's torn or saggy and is the dash cracked,mot? Answered on 07-Apr-05
A: The car is good forthe age and year, and seats are reasonable. Dave
Q: Hi mate just a quick one, its about the 2 bolt strut mount the S1 on B,C and D plate did`nt have these have you got any history at all or can you explain the red paint on the slam panel? cheers mate Andy Answered on 07-Apr-05
A: Hi, Sorry I have no interest in these cars, I ave nohistory, and cannot explain the red paint, sorry.
Q: has the car got the original floor number?? ive noticed its got the early 2 bolt front shocker tops? has it been re-shelled?? Answered on 05-Apr-05
A: As far as I am aware it is as it should be. I have never heard it had been reshelled. Dave
Q: ay up dave,has the car got any service history with it? thanks mark Answered on 05-Apr-05
A: Sorry No service history. Dave
Q: hi there , how does a corrado sound? Answered on 05-Apr-05

Q: hi would you consider swap for 2.0 16v nova with full engine rebuild and all the reciepts Answered on 04-Apr-05
A: No thanks. Dave
Q: HOW MUCH ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE CAR, ANY CHANCE OF YOUR MOBILE NUMBER TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT IT REGARDS RORY MY MOBILE 07798621679 Answered on 04-Apr-05
A: hi. what ever it reaches is fine. cheers Dave.


How can the seller say "no rot" and "seats are reasonable" the cars fooked for fooks sake!

And "The car is good forthe age and year" - FOOK OFF!!!

And the guy saying "will you take 1500 for it" etc - unbelievable!!!

That's it, bollocks, mine's for sale. 20 Grand. If that shed's worth 1500 then mines a 20K car all day long...

But there's far better than a re-shelled MK3 Escort out there for that money - he's not even bought an original S1 - and the Q&A's explain all the problems. It's an absolute waste of money - the poor kid who has bought it has been utterly ripped off.

For knocking on £1400 there's far better out there - even in the Autotrader and on here and the RSOC - this one should have been broken.....

I would imagine its someone really not in the know about these cars. Fair enough though he has mentioned all the bits that has been pointed out to him. For instance the 2 bolt struts, etc, someone in the know about these won't by that one.
As for no rot, i would have thought u start delving into it, and there would be some.
