Yamaha FS1E 1976 – Complete Project Bike – Collection Only - Picture 1 of 4

By the time this listing has finished at whatever price it does (and I bet there's a good few quid to go yet) and someone's restored it, you could buy a mint one for less. But that isn't the point imho, half the fun must be bringing it back to life yourself. I expect it'll be turned into a show pony, but it'd be nice to see just the bare minimum done and getting it roadworthy.

'put 12 mouths not on it'

Make your mind up, M8.

If I were given 24 hours to make an unlimited number of wishes, one of the first would be for all sellers who wrote English to that standard to automatically speak in the same style. 

"Yeah, it's got 12 mouths not on it mate, if that makes sense."

God help me but I really fancy a hopeless old Escort.

would a carb 1.6 cvh essentially be the old xr3 engine?

Yeah it's basically the same. 

Pretty solid motors, a lot of folk moan they're as rough as arseholes but I found putting decent oil in them and regular changes meant they stayed pretty quiet 

The Mk5 was a pretty wank car though but did offer up it's doors and a few bits to the escort Cosworth so still wins in my book.

And it's got PAS which was a welcome addition. 

Do sort of agree the Vauxhall Astra listed after it with it's 2.0l 8v would be a better prospect.

Actually I rather like that.  Anyone near enough to Doncaster to go and have a look?  Please?

Mine didn't look much different to that in 1982! 😆

Mercifully a twin-wheel but a lot of vehicles will immediately take these overweight.

Seems a sensible seller tho.

No "it doesn't need a MoT nonsense".

190s aren't as expensive as I would have thought.

Like a lot of cars prices are coming down and down.

Thing is for a car like that - the demographic, who understand it and think it particularly nice, is shrinking. 

For that money - there are so many recent eye-candy Benz about which mean more to 'Millennials' even if they want to own a car.

They are not sought after in Europe much as RHD either - whereas with some sports British cars RHD is not so much a problem.
