Whatever happens this cannot be broken up! Especially in white.

Might even have a dabble myself-gonna watch it anyhow.

it needs to ditch those s2/3 bumpers, they don\'t suit the clean lines of the s1

Yeah I thought that-those would be the first thing to be swapped.

Ian you must get the prize for the earliest sunday post... I didn\'t realise there was a 6:55 on a sunday!

The chap with the S1 also has a 2nd gen in a similar state-it appears he bought the S1 as a donor car to replace the 2nd gens engine so that would have been interesting! 10/10 for effort though I suppose.

posted some pics of this car in the \'how many running thread\'
Its been off the road a long time, 17 years..... looks like it hasn\'t got a factory sunroof either so the track boys will be interested in it I suppose.... I hope it goes back on the road though... Dave reckons there are only 3 s1\'s left on the road at present.

There used to be a chap on here with a white S1 but he sold it....it looked beautiful especially in white. It hasn\'t resurfaced on here though....

Might keep an eye on it...I\'ve got a shed made for that car:D (just don\'t tell the wife)

Unknown Ross, \'till Ian saw it in the middle of the Night!

It\'s lived in a container for yonks by the look of it.

Now entered with the other 14 SORN and Unlicensed Series 1\'s....

So that\'s 2 Runners (Both in Ireland), 14 non-runners and 3 unidentified (Cars exist but don\'t have Reg).

(I say about 3 Runners to allow for an unknown somewhere).
