One niggle occurred last week - misbehaving brake lights - rather the sidelights come on when the brakes are applied.....this weekend's job.

Saw a beautiful V8S at Zolder with something like 6000 Km on the clock, absolutely immaculate. Mine's a bit more dog-eared after being enjoyed for 95k very hard miles.

Cheers,
Peter Humphries (and a green V8S)

I have an S1 1988 with 37k with all the Bills to support the miles - must be good for a winner on an average basis.

1990 H-reg on 82K miles. It tends to get used when the weather is too bad for my motorbike or I can't be bothered to suit up. Subsequently it's quite dirty and invariably smells damp.

84,000 on my '89 F plate S1.5, done 30,000 miles in it in 20 months.

Just got back from a trip to Honfleur for 4 days chasing 2 cerbies and 2 wedges and she never missed a beat !

I have seen a mint condition s1.5 on an f plate at WLA's for a 6000 mile service with only 3200 miles on the clock !!!!!

Sad isn't it. But it was in wonderful condition, obviously !!
