Exactly. The S1 does'nt need any work to look good. Would you prefer a woman who needs loads of slap on her face before you dare take her somewhere or a natural beauty ?



I rest my case !


Don't get me wrong, i do like the S2, just not as much.

CasperR

Ohhh the trouble you guys are causing me
I got an kinda mint s2, it needs a small bit of work, but nothing compared to some of the dogs out there, but lately these S1's have just grown on me and I have gotten the urge for one.
dry: those rims you got on your S1 are just spot on, and it just looks soooo raw standard, while the s2 still looks well.. to "new" ?
Don't get me wrong I love my S2, but Im kinda cosidering selling it to find a S1 do restore rather than the S2.. just can't make up my mind
Plus its not easy to find a mint LHD S1

I imagine it will be near impossible mate. Don't know how many are out there so just having an educated guess. Go on mate, ya know ya want one !

CasperR

God damn, that's a nice S1
Have found a few, but they have all been sold. Next time I will have to buy it and get it imported to denmark and then decide what to do.I'll just have to cross my fingers that its mint.. and if not, then restore it.

Dan

S1 all the way.

Just look at it for starters and drive one

Dan

Agree mate, defo, but I think the one above is just a little bit special!

dry

Thanx for the kind words Dan. Mudflaps were on when i bought her. I was told by the previous owner that they have been on for as long as he can remember. He only had it 3 years but his mate owned it before him and he took his mate to pick it up from the Ford garage when it was new. His mate had it 16 years ! Are you still lookin for one mate? What's the score ?

Dan

No probs mate, look after it, there's not many left like yours!

Defo still looking mate, had a few things to sort out lately but reckon i've found the right one, just can't get hold of the seller! lol

One will turn up somewhere, but I hope I can get this one if it's ok!

series_1

s1 for me had them both well 3 or 4 of each dont get me wrong the s2 is a nice car but for a rs i think they are to refined the s1 is more rough and ready lol and take a bit of keeping on the right side of the road when they have plenty of power. i still own 2 s1 turbos i luv emm

dry

Good luck Dan. Hope ya get it fella

Dan

Spoke to him tonight mate, he still has it so it's now looking good!

a S2 is just a S1 with a boob job

S1 for looks

S2 for power



( And no jokes about them both being 132bhp )

I'll give you a Grudge match when were done then

Red16

me too as per MSN

Dan

You say that Rad i've only ever seen about 2 Zetec conversions done on Series 1's!

One was an 1800 and one was a 2.1

Better to stick with the 1600 tho IMO

Dave, You've read my mind


Was chatting to Ben ( RED16) about one, the 3 of us....

RS1600i, Series 1 and my Series 2, All high powered zetec

The S1 is the original and without compromise,
as the S2 was created to make an Escort RST more
attractive to a bigger group of potential customers.

You either like it or dislike it and I like it very much

Dan

Agree totally mate!

Rad, there's no reason at all that Series 2's are better for power, especially when everyone is changing engine's!

series one for the motorsports look
