That's lovely! Don't see many anymore.

Thats sweeeet!

Although with a car that mint, that chunk outta the rear bumper would annoy the curse word outta me! ;D

Rather unsightly I'll agree....The car has a couple of more pressing issues to be addressed first, but maybe I'll repair it and paint the bumpers....

....Unless the Renault 20 I've bought arrives first!

He he....Tha's cool as feck!

Would probably prefer wide steelies....Along the lines of Your Metro.

Must try that Photoshopping business one day....Looks like fun! ;D

feck me my brother had one of those but his was the phase 2 and the 5 door but it was the exact same colour as that.

It was an awful car as I recall but I really like that! 15 years pass and you can forgive what you hated at the time as being character! I don't actually recall it doing anything particularly bad or breaking down or anything. In fact the oposite. We had some fun in it as well.

If you are selling PM me at the time as I might want to go back there for a laugh.

Will do....

I know its the right colour but DO NOT be tempted to recreate the chase sequence in View to a kill! Such a neat looking little car, love the front end. Because of View to a kill, you could get a matchbox of these in that exact colour, no doubt you`ll find one on ebay.

yummmy!!! some yellow ph1 lights some retro alloys dropped 2L willy lump ummmmmmmm my dream caaaaaaaaar!!

bam

[arthurbrown]

That is an absolutely QUALITY looking machine!

And undoubtedly a bargain price too.

In fact that is exactly the sort of car I would buy, bunk off work early, spend an hour riding the tube out the burbs, arriving at the sellers house only to find that they have gone out. Oh, and that would be in the rain too.

At least it's gone to a deserving home.

Pictures like that are gonna make it very difficult for me to move this car on when the time comes....I'd love to try n achieve that look (without spending too much, as I'm a tightwad)!

Anyone know if lowering one of these is simple?

[jdmini]

that's a sweet looking' car man. i scrapped one of them last year with curse word all rust but a broken radiator.

C reg 1.4 in silver it was (comfiest seats ever on those cars)

[jizzy gillespie]

I had one of them but I sold it

triffic looking motor that, and I fully agree about the seats apart from the seat frames being made out o butter and snapping all the bloody time. mine was a 1.7 gtx and was like wibblepoo off a shovel.

I don't want another, I don't(scuttles off to garlic bay)

[jdmini]

have a look on british bay...there is a turbo'd one on there

[dontchoveit]

wow what a transformation those wheels give it. thank god for the wonders of photoshop or we might never realise the potential in the weirdest rides. ahhhh men adobe...

[trg1984]

sweet, reminds me of my mk1 clio inside, no idea about lowering em tho

[bb16v aka bbracer16valver]
