SUMMARY
Offered at No Reserve, this sought after Series 1 Turbo could turn out to be a very worthwhile winter project.
DESCRIPTION
In recent years this car has formed part of an extensive collection of motor vehicles. As such it has received little or no attention and is in a condition that could fairly be described as 'barn find.' It will undoubtedly require an element of recommissioning before it could be expected to return to the road. Inspection of the vehicle and its history file are therefore highly recommended prior to the sale to establish what is or may be required and to inspect any relevant paperwork or history file.
- Revered in their time, the RS Turbo S1 just seems to become more and more popular as the years go by
- Fitted with the legendary 132bhp, 1600CVT unit with a turbocharger, computerised fuel injection, digital engine management incorporating a boost control
- Finished in Diamond White and fitted with a sunroof, the odometer currently indicates just less than 34,000 miles
- There is no history file with this car, however the most recent MOT expired in 2017 and it does appear to have been undergoing some engine work when parked up some years ago
- Otherwise, save for some missing trim on the front bumper, the car does appear to present well
- Offered at No Reserve, this sought after Series 1 Turbo could turn out to be a very worthwhile winter project
