Would you spend "at least" £5k on this "road legal monster"?

Just curiosity. Not seen this one on the forum.
Yes it looks clean and very well looked after (not sure about this lights and the black badges) but for at least £5k shouldn't there be a turbo?
Would love to know how big the hill he went down was to get 60mpg. :rasp:

Spend 15k doing up your clio then spend 35seconds writing a for sale ad.

Wouldnt even waste my time with a ad like that.

And FYI youd go down a hill in gear to get the best mpg not in neutral

Schoolboy error. My bad!
Edited for accuracy.

He's got that 60mpg on the screen by resetting it whilst driving along at a steady pace, as soon as he starts having to brake for junctions etc it will drop.

Flol.

Love the fact that cause its has belts and valve springs he thinks the engine is now new, umm, what about the 77 thousand mile old rings????


God knows who has been feeding him all that shite, some people will believe anything.


I can never work out where these idiots get 15K from in the first place TBH, amazed they are capable of saving, or maybe its all on credit cards, lol.

Makes me laugh too!
I'm surprised there's no 200bhp claim either like others in the past.

Who's he trying to kid with the 60mpg too?! Lol

 

[Pauleds]

Is there a lump of gold in the glovebox as I cant see the 15k he's spent there.

 

[msremmert]

Normally I'd just ignore this sort of thing as eBay is rife with it but I feel bad about somebody getting suckered into a 60mpg Clio 182. Mind you, you deserve to get suckered if you think a hot hatch will get 60mpg - but I'll drop him a message anyway out of curiosity.

Ads gone?

Probably because it broke the listing rules, you cant have a 99p start no reserve auction and then say "at least 5 grand" in the description as its avoiding listing fees to do so, so if anyone hit report or if ebay somehow noticed it then it would be gone.
