Here she is, my new baby. Picked her up today. Registered Sept 01, done 17k miles. Absoloutely mint with no marks, scratches or stone chips either. The p/x with my punto almost didnt go ahead because I started her up this morning and she refused the first few times, then she started and a puff of blue smoke came out. Needless to say I did the 30 sec drive to the garage and kept my mouth shut :D

Was also suprised as I didnt think the older ones came with xenons and a trip computer, so I am well chuffed. Havent driven it much today, but took it for a quick spin and still have a big grin on my face. The induction roar is amazing. Excuse the images, taken with a Sony S700i. :)

A bit more than what its worth....7k. I bought it from a Ford main dealer so it has a 3 month warranty on it which is very comprehensive. Plus they took my Punto in for a good price when no one else would, and it would have cost me too much to get it fixed to sell privately. That was the main reason for the purchase.
 
Very very nice! I love the 172's!!!

You've gotta bring it to the meet. Gilly and Coco would be thrilled to have another Clio to contend with :cool:

Im really considering it, its a lot of miles though. Would be good to meet up with you lot and see all the talked about motors.
 
Another one joins the forums, for the money they are cracking cars :) I'll let you off the fact it's silver as the mk2s look quite nice in that colour :P

I think one of the only things the early mk2s didn't come with was cruise control, Xenons and trip were always standard :) Rev limiter light thingy might not be there as well, it was patchy on the mk1s (along with the ally bonnet :) ).

Now get that cambelt changed!
 
How much do you reckon the cambelt will cost to get changed. I was thinking of getting it done in september.

Well I got it done for 300, which included the £120 full cam kit from Renault, by a local specialist with a 10% discount.

Look on cliosport and find a specialist near you :)
 
I think I prefer the multispoke alloys (Turini?) but that is a nice looking car:cool: Atleast those alloys are easier to clean.
