Hi,
Ive just picked up my first car, a 172 ph1 from @James.
I know that buying this as my first car sounds like a stupid idea but unlike most 17 year olds, I understand that a car like this with what'll be little driving experience would mean that it would be in a ditch. I don't plan on driving it like a lunatic at all, definitely not for awhile after I get my license. Also, I'm not going to put any hideous mods on it like most 17 years old do to their cars. These look good how they are, maybe a few tasteful mods down the line but that's about it. As a bonus, the insurance isn't too bad either especially compared to more modern cars.
Anyways, the car is a 56k Iceberg silver 172. It's not been driven for a good 8 years so is in need of a little bit of TLC and a timing belt before I can get it going again. It's got a few marks here and there but id rather have a car like that especially for my first.
First job is to fit the front bumper then it'll go to my work so I can do the timing belt.
Humongous thanks to the previous owner, James. For keeping the car around while I gathered my pennies and for putting all the bits back on it for me collecting it. Possibly another RS for you after this one? Your more than welcome to come and have a go in it once ive got it going again.

I hope you drive it more than the previous owner 
apparently he doesn't even like cars any more
