It's my old S1, i changed it in photoshop, I think a proper Kawazaki green would really suit the S1 and I am considering doing it to one. Think black decals on it and possibly black and green interior in modderation on the green.
Just want to do it in a way that it can be reverted back to the original colour without to much hassle.
Resale might be a nightmare, really limited market .

That motor is sold now, after many years in Coventry it's gone to a mechanic in Blackpool
Yep, i loved the car, spent a stack on it but was time to move on.
Will pick up a cheap S1 that is heading for the breakers and rescue it, will feel better if I do that than spraying a tidy one.

Wasn't sure about it, but when I saw the original(and i'm not a fan of white), I liked that much better!!!
But, maybe it will look good in real life

Quite like that. Matt..glad you sold her in the end. Remember me? I came to look at your car one night & met you in a car park (Think it was Asda). I was in my red Vectra with big alloys on. Got me a S1 in the end tho.

James: you got any more pics of the mallard green one? Looks quite smart. Is it an original S1, or just a Mk3 done up with turbo bits?
And what's the deal with datsun-des??

RS Shawn, yep I remember you, your new S1 looks the biz, well done mate.
XR4x4rs, I had the new rims fitted, new radiator, new interior as it was white vinyl,new belts,alarm,pipes and chrome, back lights, new AP clutch etc etc..... and yep Alan sorted me out with a new gear box, although the previous owner fitted one a year before me. used to eat them alive.
Needed a decent respray really to bring the bodywork back up to scratch as little bits were going in places.
Really like that dark green one, still have the mag feature.

There were a few, Mercury Grey one I did have a piccie of it, can't find it now though
Moza had a LHD S1 in Red, thought it were resprayed so changed it back to white - it was originally Red
There are many, just knowing where they are ain't easy to find out
Also have the Datapost S1's
