And it's not getting covered in two tone of Shyte and por15 .... It's done properly lol

Proper jobby that one

I do drive it , it was at fast ford last year and Gaydon for some big anniversary . If it's wet it don't move full stop . The s1 went when I got a whiff of this coming up as these are few and far between now , there's loads of s1s about but these and the xr3 are very thin on the ground . The 16i has rocketed in price for the good ones and the xr3 will be next . The series 2 turbo has already doubled so I can see the fezza going next

It's a credit to you, and good that it is not a museum piece

john johnson · 14-02-15, 10:16 PM

Lol .... It's still running dunlop d4s ( Ken will know em well ) original exhaust as well as a full period janspeed , even down to the correct battery etc
It's funnily enough a hoot to drive and nicer than the series 1

I can imagine you with the big grin we all get in the oldies

people must think were daft

Was it just the 1600i which had the adjustable suspension or did the turbo have it also?

No the turbo had in essence bog standard xr3i stuff with a different spring rate . It got the lsd box though . The rs1600i should have red koni shocks

John, always nice to see a standard car. They came in some great colours, Caspian Blue and Graphite being particularly nice.

I'd love another graphite grey one , didn't have any choice on this one with the colour but it's growing on me
