S1.5 for sale looks OK...........?

[V8Smith]

Saw this on Ebay, looks in good nic, the guy is claiming over 200bhp, which I doubt but whatever seems a very good car for anyone looking right now, although would expect the price to rise a little should still be a bargain?? check it out.

Looks like an S2 with S1 wheels to me.

Looks good too.

Welcome to the S fold Pete, car looks a good buy

[V8Smith]

Hi Pete,
Looks to be a good buy, be interesting to get your thoughts once you have a good look at it?

Welcome to the S club and get your name down for the S meet on August 14th??

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

First impression is LOUD. I thought my 2 Brothers racing can on the blade was grin inducing. Car tracks well, 2600 rpm @ 70. Temperature was OK on the return journey (about 90 miles of motorway/dual carriage with some queing). At 70 the oil pressure was sligtly over 50 but the guage read 90 at tick over, hope it is a case of "they all do that sir!".
To to follow....

Good to see another S coming to Cheshire. Wherabouts are you I live in Chester.

Well it goes without saying that this is wrong, as to the reason it's take your pick time, bad earth/wiring or dodgy sender unit(common)

Sod all that does this dial work or does that one....

I'm more interested in this Burton engine upgrade... wondering how it compares to standard, and other modifications...

Ohhh yeahhhh Welcome enjoy

Not sure how to reply to the question Hoover as I have no experience to compare against, never having driven a Tiv before, let alone an S type. I'm affraid "goes like stink" would suffice if pushed. But the sound is the thing that floats my boat, sooooooooo good.
