I wonder how early that one is.

Looks like it needs a respray.

It's the same S1 as in the earlier thread:

It looks like a very early "first batch" S1, judging by the digital clock incorporated in the heater control bezel and the clockwise speedo ( and tacho ).
Presumably it also has the two separate bonnet release pulls as well. And bellcrank and rod operated wipers?

Nice colour/ trim combo.
It would be interesting to know the original registration number:- 87E or early 88F?

The date of first registration is Feb 88 which would make it a 88E. I had an early red one which was a March 88 on an E. I do not think my first one still exists.
