Few more than that Stu, 4 presently taxed-for-the-road street runners and 4 mad beast rally cars.

Then 22 on SORN/Unlicensed/Up on Bricks.

Finally 3 more are rumoured to exist.....one day they'll appear....perhaps not in the places they're supposed to be.

I think Capitano's really got 2 S1 potential runners for the price of 1.

Yeah for sure, the RHD one will get it's turn one day but till then will hide in the rotorshed nice and dry. 8-)

Ordered the idler arm today, £55 delivered from Rock Auto in the US so as long as customs don't play up I should get it quite quick. Now insured on chassis number through Lancaster and soon as idler arm on and brakes rebuilt she'll be going for an MOT.

Front struts out today for inspection and brake calipers off ready for rebuild-all seems tight and in good condition.

Now temporarily beached. 8-)

That's what parts cars are for.

Best to put some heat on things first or soak them in diesel for a while.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......
