Bruce,

This S1 was listed on E-Bay a few weeks ago with a higher price. Mine is also a 2002, but with almost 13000 miles on it.

So I would say the one listed is almost brand new with only 900 miles. I don't know who the owner is, but I would think he or she would do better listing it right here. I have seen a silver one before and it was very sharp.

 

Happy Bidding, Steve:eek:

A couple questions for the people that know about the Superformance S1's.

 

I saw a Utube clip of an S1 test drive (autocross). The driver loved the car but said it had some unique handling characteristics. He did not elaborate but did make some reference about the rear-end set-up. Are they known to have any handling concerns?

 

Also, always interested in the cars, but could not figure out the 'fabric looking' piece above the windshield. Is that piece easily removed for normal driving?

 

Thanks

"The driver loved the car but said it had some unique handling characteristics. He did not elaborate but did make some reference about the rear-end set-up. Are they known to have any handling concerns?" - I've never been in a S1 so I can't comment on the handling, but if I remember correctly they do use a Mumford Link rear end that looks something like this:
