Lol, they do tend to stir a bit of attention at the local petrol station.

I've only had it a couple of weeks, originally owned by the owner of K-Tec Racing Dorset, then went to the SE but now in Swindon Wilts.

Very nice. Used to belong to me - loved it. I bought it off a guy on here called Kriss from Croydon and it went on to a guy called Steve in Ashford Kent. Look after her!

Can you report if its as mental as everyone used to say? I heard it was a very powerful but essentially lazy V6 engine, and the short wheel base made it prone to huge snap oversteer....

i seem to remember the stig getting rather obsessed with it...?

What sort of power figures does it have?

Hi Darren i did realise you were a previous owner, i believe you refurbed the wheels to the colour they are now? I have also emailed and chatted with Chris (Kriss on PH) he also gave me alot more info on the Clio as he done most of the work on it.Seems the original owner was K-Tec racing in Dorset before Chris (in Croydon) bought it.
It's recently had a new set of Toyo T1Rs and a laser alignment, still is very tidy but have been fettling a few little bits! Loads of cleaning will be done over the coming months. I bought the car because i've always wanted one, they are a 'bonkers' kind of car and don't see too many about which is nice. Not the quickest of cars to be honest, i've owned Evos etc in the past but the torque and engine note are superb! Handling is excellent but push too far at your peril! A very well put together car design-wise (lol yes it is French!).It's being very well looked after Darren, you never know you might see it about this summer.

Love the wheels done in that colour; the style suit it very well and that colour finishes them off.

Do the PHII V6 headlamps fit in the PH1?

Not sure but i'm quite certain they probably won't. Rear lights however do fit and personally i think they do look better.

Damn.. I love the PHII headlamps.

Any other plans for it?
