The vultures are in already!!

Hopefully yes, would love another Ph1 but it's whether I can find a good one, other than that a 172/182 will be on the cards

Good man! You know it makes sense :up:

True what you say about the phase 1's tho, good ones are getting rarer and rarer

 

[AlexW]

Hai.

This one certainly isn't worth saving with the drivers side rust on the arch, around filler cap (inside & out), and the previous welding on the inner sill.
I'd love to see behind the N/S skirt, I suspect it'll be all gone.

Not the best but hopefully it will save some other's and push the price up of the ones left :smile: I am going to try and get another one but will have to see what I can find, might end up with a PH2 instead if i can't find a good one :up:

 

[mintno1]

sorry to read this bud!

Cheers

 

[mintno1]

Noooo

That was the same reaction I had when I heard about the MOT :smile:

 

[imprezaworks]

Onwards and upwards

Positive thinking bro :smile:

Cars normally go up in value once I don't have them anymore :smile: happened with the V6 and the M3, so everyone should be out buying Ph1's now 😂

 

[imprezaworks]

So another clio next?

 

[mintno1]

So another clio next?

I think so, have to get a new family car as well so that will probably come first and then organise another Clio once this one is all broken and organised :up: That's the plan at the minute anyway :smile:

Good stuff mate

Sorry to read another ph1 is being broken. Ive not been on here for ages, but I just re-mot'd my ph1 yesterday after a year in storage. I love the little thing!

Will you / have you got a breaking add up?

Gareth.

Yes I will have an advert once it is broken, if their is anything in particular that you are looking for you can always drop me a PM and I can let you know what condition it's in etc. How long have you owned the Ph1 for? Hopefully I'm pushing the value up for you :smile:

 

[Black2]

Cool will have a think and pm you.

Ive had it since March 2014 I think. lol the reason I didn't sell it last year is because its worth peanuts so I kept it, but im using it again at the moment hence getting it out of the shed. Mines a Y reg 2001.

No problems, I think if you have a garage to stick it in and you can have it off the road, like you say might as well keep it, they are getting rarer so who knows they might go up in value eventually! Would love another one!

I may have the wheels depending on price mate ? Drop us a pm with a price your thinking

Good question, once I have had chance to check tyres, condition and they are off the car will let you know :up:

I do think eventually they will rise in price, especially with the rate they are being broken, the good ones will be saved, hopefully I will get one again before they do :up:

Question is , if they aim to fetch a premium , its wether or not it's worth spending a few quid to redo the rewards later .
For me it's a love affair , love this car .
Good luck with finding a good one .

I agree, unfortunately I am not invested in this car having not long ago bought it, if it had survived this MOT and cropped up on the next I don't think I would be breaking it. Also this one has some issues with service history and needs other bit's doing over and above the MOT if it was a rare colour, had a folder of receipts etc. it also wouldn't be being broken. :smile:

Ok ive just remembered the heater blowers stopped working on it before i stopped using it. Ive been looking about today and i think the fan resistor is goosed. Did the fans work on all speeds on your ph1? If so ill be after the resistor, its under the scuttle panel, drivers side. I can get a pic if needed. Cheers

Yep worked at all speeds, will keep a note and let you know once it's off the car and how much it will be etc.

Shell now off to the scrapyard, last pic of the Ph1 am on the hunt for another one :smile:

Goodbye to another lost brother!

 

[DerbyDan]

A sad sight indeed!

Was good to meet you though today Gareth, at least parts of this car will live on in others!
