Doug, if you look in the RS Turbo forum, rs shawn is putting together an S1 database, he might be able to tell you what its doing now.

Lovely car. Driven it a few times whewn we used ot work together up in Scotland. Mercury Grey. It used to be totally standard (inc that crappy old cassette stereo: how I had fun listening to the rubbish tapes he has ) until he met me....

According to DVLA and RAC sites, it's gone. BUT it could just be on a private plate somewhere. Unless you still know the chassis number then there's prob no way of finding out for definate

OK, some pics as requested................

These were taken in late 1985 or maybe it was late 1986......

Some background:
Notice my mates B reg S1 (Roger Binyon) Roger is known to Mark Shead and NutsRS on here, also a few of the other rally boys on PF know him.

He rallys a Metro 6R4 (DAM 4100 version) and an EVO 7, and he hires out EVO rally car too......He bought his S1 brand new, placed his order with Currie Motors in Kingston as soon as he heard Ford were releasing them.





Pics taken after we came back from spectating at the the RAC rally in the Group B days........600 mile round trip:
These pics were taken before digital cameras were invented and also before the bucket and sponge was invented:

Not an RS but my uncles had a mk4 xr3i since he first got it brand new as a company car in 1987, then he bought it off his company 2 years later - used it as a "Sunday Best Car" up until 1996 where its been parked in his heated garage ever since. Hopefully i can restore it for him some day
