Reply With Quote$3000 is a lot for an un-registered S1, particularly one with missing ID and poor electrics. Although I am paying more for a SIIa 88 with history but not apparently as good condition.
Hi Guys
A mate of mine has a mid-50's S1 ute sitting in his shed and he is thinking of selling it. I say mid 50's because he took the plate off and has mislaid and the paperwork is 'somewhere'. The vehicle is in overall good nick having been restored about 10 years ago but there are lots of fiddly bits of tidying required, the electrics are poor and it is not rego'd. An S3 motor was dropped in to replace the S1 otherwise drivetrain is original - none overdrive. I estimate it would need 4 new tyres, a steam clean + a week of work to get it through a rego.
Assuming he can find the bits of paper what can he expect to get for it? someone has offered $3000 - is this reasonable? Would buy it myself but with 2 MGs, a TR, 2 bikes and a 300TDi + wife to feed, it isn't going to happen.
Ta, Paul

You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
Thanks for that - I'd better tell him to take the offer assuming the paperwork turns up
Had a 63 SIIa in the UK - wonderful machine, enjoy

SubscriberPity about the S3 engine, but if the rest is OK then $3000 is not too bad. Don’t see any value in paperwork but the serial number would tell us all; if the plate is gone get it from the chassis.
Keep in mind that a full loom for a S1 is only about $400 and very easy to fit.

Thanks guys -I'll pass it on. I miss our old S2 - an S1 would be fun. Tdi just too sensible and waterproof.
It is hard to put a price on something like this - at the end of the day I guess people pay for the love of the vehicle and what they want it for. I'll let you know what happens.
