I sold that car about 2 years ago. Had gearbox done & belts by diamond motors

Plumped for the nilfix 120 for £90 beer tokens.

Good mint ones in exclusive colours sub 50k > £5000 already. Need to be underpinned by the history though-

Hum - none of them are all that to be fair - KTEC are making you pay all but £9k for the colour - like for like the same car in say blue is £7250 at best. Depends how desperate you are. I havent seen a decent Alien Green up for sale for about 2 years.

Taken today Awaiting seat covers :(

When I first started out in 2009 / 10 I used to drive all the way from Kent to malpas to use birchdown - one of the best specialist out there - But as you say you live & learn - I had exactly the same with a replacment gearbox where ANother specialist replaced a 200 gearbox & gave choice on...

Sold & collected price was still closer to £3500 than £3000 not bad for 116k miles.

Go Karting went down well

I sold him that. Recaros were an option but this car didnt have them at the time.

Saw this - thought guy must be a spacker

nice thread you cannot machine polish out faded lines & the lines arent faded - its the bonnet thats faded - needs painting..

£550. collected- real nice condition... 40k @jamesabbey

Yes - it was worth a try but ultimatly that was to high for the miles no matter how mint it was.. The car was only a punt & something to tinker with TBH - Also maybe it may have sold if I had left it up for a long time @£4k but Id rather just move it on :)

@jamesabbey are you looking for trendlines as I have a set of R26 ones here ( will need the above runners )

The appreciation curve will be about as steep as ownership costs vis a vis - if you have one now - you wont gain a great deal net - or lose either, however theres minimal long term profit in a 172 Cup

if the same car was trawled out maybe another £1000 or so -

You will need one thats sub 60k & in mint condition- ( proper mint ) you may be able to squeeze 4500-6k out of one the lower the miles- But for that price everything needs to be perfect - ideally totally standard ( with the exception of say springs & exhaust ) Great brand tyres / perfect...

That will cost about £2-2500 to get right. plus it has next to no service history. I guess it might me ok at 1000-1200 but you will be doing All belts again & dephaser + service suspension will be cheap patent parts paint dents tyres all round alloys exhaust will be falling to bits. interior...
