This was my old cup, regrettably sold back in 2016

Hi guys, after coming away from my nigh on concours 172 cup in 2016 I am potentially back in the market for a nicely prepped and clean 172/182. Anyone considering selling?

I sold mine recently for 6k with 53k miles, it was not far off concours condition, nigh on standard and original paint,and to me it was worth every penny as examples such as the one I sold are incredibly rare and will only go up in value. I had it for 6 years, a big shame I couldn't hold onto...

Coolio, it's not an easy task keeping a car to that standard, a detailer will definitely help you in guiding you the right way with sealants etc, they are the way forward. Will be great to see it when you get all those bits on, shame I didn't get round to fitting them myself.

Looking great mate, love the temporary garage. Always looks so good in pictures, great to see that you look as keen as was in keeping it looking it's best. It has to be the most pampered cup out there :wink:

It's the one you saw earlier on in the year at Snetterton...remember?

Great to see you on here, I am massively missing that car already. It's a superb example.

That was my cup in the top 16, really proud to have had it in there today

Ah Thankyou, such a good looking car when there cleaned up. Thanks for that, will get one ordered

Lovely cup, really impressed with what you've done so far. There great little cars, I would find it hard to part with mine now after putting so much time into it. Have you got a link to the coolant bottle, I could do with one to

It's come a long way since I first bought it. My original plans were to change the seats and half cage it etc and go along the same lines of a Meg r26r, but it's just such a good example of a standard cup it would be a shame to change anything on it, and I think in the long run will be worth...
