Find a mint one for 3k and ill have 2 and not bother restoring mine! lol
Going by your standards Martin expect to pay around 4-5k for a nice one! 3-4 will get you a tidy one but not mint as you stated! Unless ya lucky!

I'm now narrowing my colour choice to Silver (thanks Marco) .. So please keep your eyes open folks, like I said I'm not interested in the mechanicals but the body and original spoilers are important.

I swear I saw quite a nice looking one the other day on pistonheads for £1695 in black. I thought it looked cheap and for a second considered it myself! Buggered if I can find it now though.
There's a couple on there that require a bit of work.. one with 108k in black and one with (apparantly) 43k miles both around £2k but one doesn't appear to have the coils.

It was this one I was thinking of, just thought it sat nice and haven't even looked at an RS1600i for years and it just caught my eye on ebay

I kinda agree with phil the big part of the rsi is the twin coils and decent(for its age) N/A power. Audi engine could go in a silver Mk3 base model stickered and spoliered up as an RSi...BUT its up to the individual what he does with the car!

That would be sweet.
A guy down the street from me had an rs1600i when i moved up and I couldnt help but stare at it all the time. The money i bought my s2 with could've got a very nice 16i
hindsight is great
