Thing is the ph1 172 is more than likely going to be the last hot hatch with out traction control, esp and all those other shitty gadgets that just slow you down and hinder your driving. All new cars have to much elecrtonics just look at what the fly by wire did to the ph2
I don't know if its been said as i've not read it all but number plates must have the postcode of the company that made the plate and also the spacing must be 11mm
As long as it has full service history and has had its belts done you shouldn't have too many problems. The steering wheels wear out for fun so don't let it put you off if the rest of the car is in mint condition.
Ive had two ph1's and love them, my mate has a williams and that is amazing round track. As said above fly by wire just doesn't have the same feel or responsiveness as the cable throttle
when mine got written off insurance paid me out £2800 about 4 months ago i picked the black one up for £1400
my old one was on 75k new one is 110k and feels a lot more solid as its all been motorway miles and has frsh
i've not done much just stripped it and fitted the eibachs its still not got a back box on it either lol. its not even driven it for a month now either lol
Me and and a mate looked at a ph1 on 50k and it was a shed. Just coz they are low mileage doesn't always mean they are good ones. Full documented history is more important than mileage as even doing an average of 12k a year they would be at around the 80k mark now.
