An S1 in the South of France
« on: Friday,December 18, 2020, 04:37:42 AM »
Good morning all,
And another new one!
I have been watching your exchanges for many years. They are always very interesting.
I also have a Europa. An S1 bought when I was young 32 years ago. I drive this car a lot, I love it. Sometimes I need to have information, or I can also give it because I only repaired my car ten years ago.
It is for this reason that I wished to be able to have access to the discussions
I hope that googletraduction will allow me to be understandable.

Welcome to the forum, Hachille. Your S1 is beautiful.  :beerchug:
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Hello
Thank you for your welcome.
This car is one of the first S1. The body is original.
The interior is quite close to the origin.
The body is removable from the chassis.
the interior of the front trunk is waterproof. The front cover is hinged differently.
The Engine is an 807-20 transformed into 1596cc, the gearbox is a mix between NG1, NG3, and 336-08.
175 tires at the front and 205 at the rear.
Other small modifications to make the car more comfortable.

Nice! The air conditioning condenser is mounted in the rear? Where is the evaporator etc. mounted?

the evaporator is in the location of the optional reservoir.

   Love the A/C , where did you mount the condenser? I'm in the process of of installing a  "under dash system" instead of routing lines to front section , thinking about a aft location. the under dash section in the aux fuel tank location piped in.
 I don't want to hijack your thread but we need this discussion.
  JB has a beautiful S! with air.  trust me, you can spend hours looking at his mods.
 welcome again and appreciate the pictures.
