What would you buy if you had the chance, a custom or non custom S1 and why

 

Bog standard in every detail would suit me nicely.

I just like them as they came.

 

non custom as i would only have 1 for a track car!

 

I loved these cars when they came out and still think they look great, never driven one and I'm going to keep it that way.

 

Go for a mint and orignal non-custom one, they are like rocking horse now!!

 

Lewis, surely track car is custom?

Personally i would want a modified one for the simple reason that if you are building a modified performance car a nasty old cvh engined mk3 escort isnt the way to start IMHO, but id like one in original trim just to appreciate for what it was, id probably only drive it twice before getting bored and selling it thoguh

 

whats the difference between them though? as far as i was aware the only difference was one had a sunroof and side repeaters, the other didnt? was it leccy windows as well?

 

non custom means no sun roof no elecy windows etc.! so there for lkighter & better for track!

i think u might b slightly confused to his term of custom 7 non-custom Si!

they basically did a s1 custom whihc had sunroof & elecy windows central lockin etc & then they did non-custom models where u got bugger all!

non-customs r some what rarer & now more expensive to buy!

 

Ah, cheers for that lewis, i thought me meant custom as in modified after sale.

Just goes to show how little i know about series 1 then!

 

non customs were fookin cheap a few years ago too

my cousin had a lovely S1 - was fully restored before he bought it and was quick too

 

yea I thought thats what u were thinin!

I'd deffo have a modified 1! but on a non-custom base!

 

Sorry fella`s when i said custom / non-custom i meant the model type

 

depends what your wanting it for, road use - deffo custom as it came with 'some' luxury's!! and for track or ball out fast road car, non custom. .

 

Its for the road, summer use only though

 

prolly beta off wiv a custom then

 

Yeah prob mate, its just trying to find a good one though

 

Non-custom all day long, lighter, no rust on the roof to worry about and idea basis for a track car

 

i had a minter a few years back then some bi@tch drove into the back of me

 

well non custom for me as there rarer now
