Picked up this little baby today...



After 10 years of driving BMW's this feels like so much fun!

Very nice - How are the seats? Been looking at 182s recently as a bit of a toy, seriously considering one but don't think i could stretch to a trophy budget for a second car.

182 or TVR S Series.....hmm hmmm.

Seats are great the slide mechanism isn't working at the moment though so will take a look at that over the next few days. Apparently it's common for the cable to pop out of the mechanism.

Nice colour - my 182FF was great fun.

I have a brand new genuine Renault front splitter in my shed for when you catch yours on a kerb ;-)
(They are £125+VAT from the main stealer)

That is really nice, I just got a Flame Red Clio 172 and loving every minute I drive it, I forgot what a light car feels like, it's good.

Miss my Inferno 182 so much. I'd still have it if I hadn't moved abroad. Oh well.

Lovely! I had a mk1 172 and loved it, was just too fragile though. Speaking of which, how are those fancy remote reserve dampers holding up??

The previous owner had them refurbed at the end of last year by Cornering Force so I'm hoping they should be fine.

Number 069.

It's getting difficult to find one without engine and other mods which is what I was after.

The only real modification this has got is the Scorpion RS192 exhaust which I was thinking about doing anyway.

Love these; i can see the Trophy having the legendary status as the Clio Williams in a few years time.

Can pick 172/182s for silly money.... yet i know when i'm old i'll pay a massive amount for a mint one in a pathetic attempt to reclaim my youth! For me, these cars are the definitive hot hatch.

We may still call today's cars 'hot hatches', but they can't replicate the over-engined feel of a fragile little shopping trolley with a big lump under the bonnet.

Awesome car, perfect iteration of the MK2 clio IMO.

Glad to hear you've had the Sachs refurbished.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

It's booked in for a detail on the weekend, can't wait to see what it comes back like.
