I agree. I think the F1 will remain the pinnacle of sports car design. It was the last fully analogue stick shift drivers car. The best car ever for people that can drive without a computer correcting their mistakes. After 30 years it still looks great.
To some extent, I think the analogy with the TDA1541a is apt. It was very good but expensive to produce. Even today it's performance has merit. And it is becoming rare so the prices are going up and people will keep an S1/S2 as a collector's item.

Late last year one sold for Eur100 (which was a rare bargain) ; Peter Daniel sold his for CAD300/Eur200 back a few years ago ; someone Ebay has been trying to sell one for Eur650 for some time...
The last 4pcs I had, I sold for USD$450ea. That was like 2 years ago

This thread is illuminating... it also sparked some real curiosity
I got on a local sale a Nakamichi DAC-101 car audio DAC, a couple years back that is based on a double TDA1541A S1 configuration. Think I paid maybe 100 Euro for it, mainly because there’s absolutely zilch interest in Car Audio any more. Makes me want to hook the thing up to seriously test it. I know it works but never got around to really listen to how it sounds
What are S1 going for now?

I have two AYA II Dacs with some upgrade parts and with regular TDA1541A from 1997, and also have a SUBBU V3 DAC.
if it was a football game I would say that AYA would give 20-0 to SUBBU!
Sorry SUBBU father!
Such a unwarranted remark no wonder Jean Paul is pissed.
Interesting to see these went for good money. Well done seller.
Also ibteresting in a bad way that in the last week a Chinese add has appeared obviously based on copying the legit UK sale mentioned in this thread and even copies the wording and emboldened text.
