1997 S1 Titanium silver.
In short: Mechanically sorted but with the odd scruffy bit.
Always fed fully synth oil and warmed up gently - never a hint of head gasket troubles.
The bad stuff:
Couple of scrapes - One where the wiper parted company and scratched the top of the fornt clam, one where a broken spring scuffed the NS sill, few general small stone chips and so on.
Wheels could do with a refurb
Roof is mostly watertight (They all leak a bit)
Generally a little bit scruffy inside: seats/scuff plates scuffed
Occasional knock from front ARB (I'll grease it up to stop it but they all do that to some extent - replacement parts included see below)
59k miles
Full service history mostly specialists not always annual but in mileage - would have a B service (IIRC) carried out before sale
Full MOT TBCO (due July)
Cambelt, tensioner and aux belt changed today (19/6/10)
