think as was mentioned before, very little car taken with the undersealing, maybe hiding sins??

A good poke around with a screwdriver and whips the seats and carpet out should reveal any issues though.

If you asked the seller if that can be done before viewing it is only a five minute job so they shouldn,t have any reason not to.

I personally think that is worth every penny of the £4800 asking price if its in the good condition as stated in the advert!!

get the original S1 wheels on it and standard orange indicators and you will have a pretty special car IMO.

Personally I would not pay that money for it. Just my opinion.

Yours is a stunning S1 so whats it worth realistically??? 10k?

Surely therefore an S1 in good condition must be worth about 5k as you see shitters making between 2.5 -3.5k!!
