I had one of these years ago, in pearlecent white, fantastic wee cars and still miss it. Make up a For Sale sign on the computer though, it would look far better. Good luck with the sale mate

I was after £1195 ono BUT as i have noticed a slight clutch slip tonight (Driving normal) so i can't possible ask that price now so i am willing to drop the price to pay for the new clutch, The car is still 100% drivable and it's only when you come on boost is slips a touch!

Ok the price i am willing to take now is £900 so that allows plenty of doller to put it right for the new owner! (Mr Clutch in Peterborough is about £180 to fit and supply with 2 years warranty on the car/clutch)

I hope this may not put people off but i am trying to be totally honest and fair with people as we all know this is becoming a rare car and very hard to find a clean 1 like this and still holds great value!

Me too! The self same rare Pearl White one. Had it for 6 years - loved it! Bless them.

Had a prang and resprayed it Toyota Super Bright Yellow swatch no.549 (the colour for the Mk.2 MR2). Boosted to about 145-155bhp by BBR with in-car adjustable bleed valve lol and bigger jet in the carb... plus the obligatory straps around the IC to stop the black plastic end tanks from blowing off! <snigger>

Strangely, I never had ONE head gasket go... but lots of clutch cables!!! Always used to worry that the anti-perculation fan would catch fire whilst hearing it whirring away in my bedroom lol. Was something of a money pit in other respects...

If I hadn't have spent £660 at Zens getting WRX through MOT last Fri , I'd be sorely tempted again - for old time's sake ...

Good luck with the sale mate - digging it's basic originality

Really liked 'em in that Tungsten-like grey, and black also. Loved the silver because of the rarity.

Corrr, if I hadn't have just got my 205 GTI running beautifully I would have snapped your hand off. Bugger

Good luck thought fella, would love to drive on these old hatches, I'm personally re-incarnating the 80s thing in Scunny

Love the Mk1 5 Gordini Turbo - can play at pretending to be Jean Ragnotti lol!. Loved their highly polished alloys (very similar to the first Clio 16V's).

They must be well light, seeing as the Mk2 was only 830kg/1830lb itself!!
