Could anyone tell me which is the rarer and more sort after car out of the P1 and RB5? Also, was the RB5 only made on a V Reg, and the last P1's on a Y or 51 plate? Cheers!

I've not got the 172 any more although it was a great little hatch (had 2 of them now).
They are a lot cheaper than the RB5. I took it down to the South of France last year and it was returning 38mpg. Little things did need to be replaced on it but genuine parts through GSF were cheap and it was easy to work on.
As for how they drive they are great fun. You need to keep them above 5k but it would give the RB5 a good run for it's money, I would have another in a heart beat.

Still not a touch on the RB5 for all round grin factor or rareness though (bringing topic back on track wink ).
