Clio 172 to Mk1 MX5

^^

Is what I'm intending to do. I may have stepped over the line of 'no advertising' on the forums but wondered if anyone is interested in such a swap?

Here's mine

Failing that, I'll be moving into Mk1 territory if I can sell my Clio, I've been after one for a while. I reckon I'm looking to spend £2k ish on a Mk1, and use the rest to fund a new GTI6 engine for my track car. I can't wait to experience reliable, fun, RWD cheap motoring!

So, long shot I know, but anyone interested?

the knob on your forehead will shrivel up and fall off once you've sold the clio........it will grow back though once you take delivery of the mx5

Maybe I should get myself some Kappa Tracksuit bottoms and a Burberry hat and get a Calibra 4x4?

Thanks for your useful input

How can you justify saying that when you drive a Vectra-in-a-skirt - sorry, I meant Calibra

I thought it was based on the early Opel Vectra - or is that the same thing as a Vauxhall Cavalier?

Yeah Bit like the Corsa A, i.e. Nova

Well - chav insults aside, the 172 was sold today

Time to go MX5 hunting - I've got my eye on a Mk1 RS Limited, hopefully viewing it Tuesday. Any advice on what to look out for with it being a special edition?

It still has the seats, wheels, LSD etc. Anything I should be aware of?

Cheers

Have a look for a sticker in the door shut, if there it will have lots of info on the model/spec/options.

Check for rust in the sills. The tappets will tick for the first 5-10 secs. Any longer than that and you may need new HLAs. Use hood condition as a bargaining tool, although a decent one can be had for 250 quid.
