Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Is it me or are asking prices getting more sensible recently? They seemed to be getting a bit silly, especially that white S3 at auction for 25k, but last few I've seen haven't been so dear.
Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
That's the same with everything at the moment, only place to buy a car is at auction these days, if you watch auctions most cars are selling at sensible prices or just not meeting reserve. Prices being asked are not being achieved in general on car ads.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Malcolm it has at some point been resprayed as the moulding is missing down the sides, have to say the interior is very good. It's also not on its original engine.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Yes, I did suspect a recent respray, which could be concealing a whole raft of corrosion issues....

Saw this car at 7's day last year. It was a surprise when it showed up. Along with a silver NZ imported car

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
Not all S1s had side mouldings from new depending on the trim level.
Don’t know if it applies to uk cars but savannahs and USA cars were offered in several trim levels.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
James you could be right, I owned my 1st S1 in 79 and at that time they only sold one model here and they all had side mouldings
