S1 106 Rallye

[frenchcarparts]

Just got this at the weekend

swapped it for my saxo vtr....still can't decide whos better off from this deal?
75k, immaculate rust free car with quite abit of work gone into it, but was a cat c




for a totally stock....apart from the shocking wheels

s1 rallye






boot floor and under the drivers seat have been welded (by a moron by the looks of it!)
little bit behind a headlight, think it needs a drive shaft, 12mot,6tax

I would have kept the saxo mate

What's the millage on the Rallye? Interior pics?

[mhdurrani]

Will be a good project like matey looks clean specially the engine bay, agreed those wheels are awfull are you going to get rallye steels?

[frenchcarparts]

today I've ordered some S2 steels, and a stock s1rallye airbox and kn filter, no pictures but the insides mint, just needs a good clean, everythings as it should..apart from the parcel shelf! also came with full service history, mileage is 120.

[Jizanthapus]

looks good.

have to say the alloys are far better than the bright ones on the saxo! but would benefit from steelies

[Jigs2895]

I think after a good clean up of the engine bay and interior and exterior, replace all the decals and just in general clean it up you have a nice little car

[JoeHindle]

Rallye looks nice mate little TLC and it'll look 110% better I've got alot of time for S1s

[griff_106]

So much love for these cars mate - I'd definitely say you got the better deal if you did a direct swap

As others have said - I'd just give the car some thorough cleaning... take off the decals, machine the paint, fit new decals, new reg plates, S2 steels as you've bought them and tidy up the engine bay.

Thinking about it I seem to recognise that plate from somewhere... it may be on the same dealer 'plate' block as other Rallye's but not sure.

Really want an S1 Rallye now haha

Rallye will be much better value in the long run especially if you are keeping it original & tidying it up. Plenty of S1 Rallyes still about but very very few original ones, most have been 16v nowadays.

[Gandi699]

guy must have been mad to swap that s1 for a vtr, mint or not. You got the good end of the deal

[AlexBp]

That open filter mmmm

Standard airbox will be fun to find for a rallye lol

[Gandi699]

Don't 106parts stock them? Might be wron there but if they did it'll be at a vast cost

Found one and its actually cheaper than you'd expect. a rarity for 106 parts

Still waiting on the air box thanks to some dodgy dealer on the rallyeregister
also still waiting for a set of rallye steels I ordered from "pugplus" Monday the 18th! I've heard hes abit of a prick but this service is ridiculous, told they were sent out on the 20th 24hour delivery, then the 26th, and now today (the 28th)!!!

Advise anyone to avoid him now selling as georgiegarn on ebay

[LSOfreak]

you definitely got the better end of the deal, vtr's are worth nothing these days!

so much potential with that s1

and i agree, the orange wheels are more shocking than them on the s1 lol

[wizardmanjm]

such a nice saxo but excited for the rallye, will get you ten times more looks i think when its done, dont see many of these anymore, lucky lad!
