Thanks. Silverstone, but it's reserve list now.
@Mr. Plums Cost a lot more to go and build one, also priced at a price that reflects the spec against other low boosts for sale that don't have £1500 gearboxes.
Seems really expensive to me, without searching I found:
Ultra red full fat Clio 200
Recaros with standard wear on drivers seat, keyless entry with 2 keys, cup spoiler, tinted rear windows and cup chassis.
Mileage is 44k
No modifications.
Full service history, cambelt done October 2015
MOT 23...
Took a trip over to Surrey Rolling Road for the morning kindly organised by @TimR26
Car ran just under the power it ran when it was mapped at Engine Dynamics so good to see all is still well with the conversion.
The car is up for sale as our third child has arrived and I'm unsure how much use...
Let me get this straight, this car went to:
BTM - Fred left the country,
SJM - Dan has closed,
Diamond - Mick has left the country?
Only joking, I know the ginger one is on holiday
Whilst that is the letter of the law, according to two testers who tested this:
If the light comes on and goes out then it's a pass, a missing airbag is one which is physically missing from a standard wheel and not an aftermarket wheel which never had one.
Yeah, same car back up for sale:

Mine is similar spec to yours but a 172 and I expect to sell for 5k or break it.
As a former Cup owner, ask yourself this, it's 25 degrees, you're in a crash helmet or driving the couple of hours to a track. Would you miss the a/c?
The weight saving is easy on any of them, and the lack of ABS isn't a great thing imo.
Dash lights are easily solved with resistors or CLIP...
That's eBay's mobile page screwing up, same on mine.
If anyone wants the car without the extras I'll consider offers round £5250, although I realise it's a lot of money for a 172 and will likely strip it after Xmas to remove the diff and suspension
My 172 Turbo is now on eBay if anyone knows anyone looking for a good one!

@daniel jephcott Find one pretty much done to how you want it, I paid £3k for my turbo'd 172, just to get to the standard it was would be thousands more.
The market won't be good over the next few months so if you hold on you should get a good spec for your money.
I've got mine on the market...
I'd save another grand and find someone selling a turbo'd 172 with a diff for 5k.
Oh Hi!
Having been there and spent the money myself, I'd not bother again, it just meant I spent weeks and months getting the car together. From my 172 Cup having the gearbox removed, it was 10 weeks until I...
@bloke it worked yesterday, but just went out and it's not working today, tried to beep on Friday and it didn't work, but it randomly did when I left relatives a few weeks ago - it wasn't working before this!
The fans won't come on now, but did yesterday morning when leaving the house and then...
