Just some background about the S1 Turbo1 from a CX GTi turbo saddo!
The s1 petrol turbo was the last development of the GTi metal bumpered car before it got
big visually heavier plastic bumpers and rear spats so to some it's the purer shape with
the fastest engine! The turbo had colour coded metal bumpers to differentiate it from the
lower range models, unique wheels with the T motif or flying ice scraper a typically funky
Citroen rear rubber spoiler and black sawtooth fab seats. In fact the seats are the best car
seats I've ever sat in - EVER!! And they look and feel good too!
It saw release in late 1984 and by mid '85 was replaced by the s2 that had the same turbo1
engine until it was fitted with an intercooler becoming the turbo2.
A rare car only available for about 6 months if that, and certainly not many made it as RHD!
though unconfirmed figures suggest 600 were registered but that sounds very high to me!!
IT PAINS ME TO HEAR THIS EBAY CAR WILL BE BROKEN FOR SOME SPARES AND SCRAPPED!!
I cannot buy them all though heaven knows I've got a few of these...
What a sorted one of these should look like (isn't mine though):
