Blackwolf I probably passed you near Oxford as I used to go and visit my brother at uni there, then onto Cambridge to visit girlfriend. Loved it for that sort of cross country dash 2.4TDCI 90 - everyday brilliance
S3 V8 Lightweight - in the garage being ignored #newchassistime
S3 lightweight - 2nd car 24V fire risk with a full tilt and the windscreen down
S1 80" - first car fun - 75mph in neutral downhill once #wobblesallround

I had a 20,000 mile 1949 80” for eight years. Sold it for seven times what I paid for it (now it would be worth double again). Don’t miss it at all. Even with those low miles the cam was wearing and the steering column was all over the place despite a rebuild. And when I managed to hit the centre of the steering wheel and smash the horn push with a scaffold pole I could’ve cried.

A decent original Lightweight has all the appeal of a series one, is far cheaper, much better to drive and more practical.

£4500 for a chopped up example that vaguely resembles a series 1 , £8000 for a workable 86” restoration and then up to 25k for a fully restored 80”

Bit vague but so is the market ! https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/

This has a lot going for it, but some negotiating would be required (or time travel) to bring it within budget.

Luckily our series 1 has been in the family for 40 years, and it was a family friend who it was brought from.
They are great to drive, not fast but just puts some enjoyment back into driving. Personally me being taller the 86” is spot on as there isn’t as much room in a 80” when I sat in one.
The great thing about the 86 + 88” is that a lot of the series 2 parts fit so are cheaper. 1.6 and 2.0 engine parts can be expensive.
You will love it Thumbs Up

If I was in the market at the moment I would have a look at this ebay no.264396825215

Very original base for a restoration project, and not silly money for what it is.

^^^^ That's a gem, looks very complete and original and hasn't lost its original registraion (I hate "age related" plates which look so obviously non-original). If I had more space I'd snap that one up myself at that price, very reasonable by today's crazy standards.

This is nice too, although the seller seems confused about the wheelbase - it's a 109" not a107", as he acknowledges in the description, so why call it a 107" in the title? Weird!

Everyone has a different view on what's a lot of money or what isn't but you'll need relatively deep pockets to buy any S1 that's anything like decent or original. Also be prepared for the eye watering parts prices too and finally unless you can do the spannering yourself I wouldn't even entertain one but that goes back to my first comment, if money's no object........
