No, Greg would have owned it around 1990 though and would have been around Surrey.

I remember him bragging that it was as fast as a Cossie and showing off outside my mums hous pulling away in 2nd with wheelspin. It would have had something done for him to say it was fast. I remember the spoiler and it had different wheels.

Only ever took a s1 out for a spin a couple of times, never got the chance to own one myself unfortunately and now with prices the way they are going that's no chance now

They are good cars, however if Ford had spent a little and fitted power steering it would be a whole lot better I've had a good few, but do prefer the rs 1600i

Poor car. I like to see cars like this restored but it might be too far gone.

Bit of a shame to see an S1 like this, can’t remember the last time I saw one on the road when it wasn’t on the way to a local Ford show..
