went to look at another s1 last night
a fella from work mentioned there was a S1 sat in some ones drive way
hear his house that had been there for a long time.
so i decided to pop round and have a look at it,
it was a completely standard C reg Custom.
had green algae and leaves all over it,
rust all over, Rear valance, Doors, tailgate, it had new wings that were
the worst colour match and were not decalled. it was a mess,
so i thought id knock on the door as they might not want much for it,
the bloke comes to door and says 'absolutely no less than 2 grand'
and i were gobsmacked, NO MOT, NO TAX and a hell of a lot of work
to be done so i walked away.
so if any one wants a project s1, there one in Southport.
forgot to say, he said engine had been rebuilt?
new turbo and gearbox?

thats what i said to my mate, it was rough, definate respray needed and
i did not even look underneath, all tyres except one were flat, the only decent
thing with it was the dash had no cracks (from a quick look) and it had
proper RS Mudflaps which i want sooooooooooo much

There was this S1 my mate told me of sitting on someones driveway for a few years, was in a little village about 10 mins drive from my house.
C reg non custom it was (think the reg was C30/34 BGT something like that) apparentley it had been up for sale for like £2400 a while back but then some lowlifes pinched the front seats and bumper trims and he'd just left it to rot
guy just used it to block his driveway when he went on holiday It looked fairly sound (though the bodywork was a shade of moss green), had RS500 wheels and 16i steering wheel and reportedly a trick 240bhp engine, but the guy wouldnt sell.
Think that was about two years ago, sadly the other month i drove past and it was gone, i wonder what happened to it?

Hang on to them chaps - prices are on the up and up.....
If you're looking for an S1 then hang on in there. Whatever you do, don't buy a shitter unless it's an absolute giveaway!

all i wanted to do with it really was strip and sell parts, i was not expecting the
price he asked, it was far too high. i tried the other week with a fiesta RST
and that were nakered, same story, sat on some 1's drive. i got him down to
1200 from his 1800 asking price but decided to leave it. needed too much work
