Don't know the car but looks a nice motor. Nice price too though.

That's a rare ting - a one owner from new S1. Looks very nice (apart from the blue wheels and chrome mirrors, easy enough to sort out). What's it like underneath though?

Being a one owner car, it's not impossible that the wheels and mirrors could have been spec'd at purchase and therefore totally original, therefore no need to "sort out"

As JamesMK refers to above, have as good a look as possible underneath the car, paying particular attention to, but not exclusively, the outriggers. Also have a look under the bonnet at the wiring - the original loom would have been all black wires with "trace" collars at the ends.

Looked at it today. Genuine one owner. Lots of paperwork. Nice car. But at that price not quite nice enough for me.

It is a very nice car and getting rarer by the day but for that money you might as well get yourself a V8 Wedge...Not saying its not worth that or knocking a V6 cos they are okay in my book...In fact i really like the look of that one...

Indeed - the rarity of an S1 makes it a very worthwhile buy for someone. (Would be better still in a different colour).

Any comments on this one?

Not keen on the interior..Are they Tamora seats?...However i love the engine bay..Looks...VERY clean and tidy...

What's going on with the rear screen? Looks like a replacement, maybe rare original glass broken?

[Wedg1e]

Upgraded - a bit chavved-up in places more like.
Rear screen looks like it might just have had the edges vinyl-masked. The poor curvature is quite common.
From the steering wheel, seats, pedals and engine bay tat it looks like someone got a Demon Tweeks catalogue for xmas.

After intense lobbying of Mrs t120v we have moved to "I think I've changed my mind, I do quite like the look of those soft tops". Which is fine by me! So with a max of £5K, suggestions anyone.

Definitely...Snap it up mate before someone else does...The engine work is a big selling point..At least it would be for me..No-one knows when the cam could give up the ghost on most of them but knowing that its been done and a spicy one has been put in is a big plus in my book..And its had head work and its got a good chassis...Well worth the dose!...Ziga

Just had a look at the pics of the Black 350i and the oil filler cap appears to be missing!
