Hello Sparkrite,

I noticed it was for sale last night, not sure if that's a good deal or not?

I have a 1967 S1A, in very similar condition, that I repatriated from the US a few years ago.
It has had all UK taxes paid (and it's also UK registered with a V5 and appropriate 1967 age-related registration plate)

Mark.

  I think he would have a hard time getting that figure.
  Maybe more like 1,280.

You can barely make out the fourth number in the VIN, but I believe this is the same car discussed here a few years back, No?

Perhaps this seller is the one who bought it in France for EUR 8,900. Now asking EUR 14,982???

S1 cars are particularly rare here in the UK and relatively rare in Europe.
A private sale would probably struggle to achieve that asking price but a dealer may succeed?   
€8900 seems impressive, when did it sell for that price?
