Default Would 5k get a descent S1 Turbo?

As above? I ask as a couple of mates are looking to get 1 each and wondered if 5k got you a half descent 1,not looking for proper mint,concours etc just a good solid 1 (or should that be 2 ) thats clean enough

Try looking at www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk as it is a reference site to the MK3 escort. I'm sure you will find all the correct info and get a scope on what you will get/expect from a £5K S1. But in my opinion you should get a striaght, solid S1 for that money!

5k is plenty, it's just a waiting game though for the right one to come up for sale

2 buyers, each within 100 miles of me with £5k to spend on an S1. How do I just know that when I come round to selling mine I'll not get that lucky. Always the same with me.

You should get a solid car with good history for £5k. But watch out for people thinking their rotten S1 is worth the earth.

S1's only go up in price and that's guaranteed.

It's not in the pipeline at the moment. Didn't get out in it much last year for various reasons so gonna make sure I get good use of it this year. Maybe at the end of the year tho.

like brammer said u should get a good one for that but the trouble is everybody thinks theres is worth bout 5k and there all just sheds hiding behind a cheap diamond white respray , just keep ure eyes open something will come up , a was after one not long ago too but everyone a vued was scrap or would need work to get it to any decent standard and all the owners had the heads up there a*ses thinking they were worth a fortune so ended up optin for another saff
