I think youre right Tony. All Mk2s are the same - they all have to conform to the same Euro emission regs - why would they make a special one just for the UK?
Utter b*llox I should think! Hes just trying to get you to buy one from his garage! All cars have to pass type approval , and imports all have a certificate. If it passes type approval it will pass the MOT.

Here in Shropshire we are currently plagued with rabbits. Every morning the road is littered with squashed bunnies, but this appears to have no impact on the population - there are more and more every year. I see them in the garden (they eat stuff), on the drive, lurking under the car, they are...
Mines in for a service and a few other bits for a couple of days. Needless to say I was presented with..... a Clio 1.2 Expression. I have to say, no word of a lie, its a PERFECTLY GOOD CAR! Perky engine, nice dash, leccy windows. Its quiet, comfortable and probably does about a million to the...

When it steams up hit the -demist- button and leave it like that for a minute or so. The air-con will come on and the fan will de-mist all the front windows. Other than that you should be able to leave it on auto the whole time..
Mk 1 and Cup will both seem faster than a Mk2 for 1 simple reason - theyre noisier. The Mk2 172 is loaded with soudproofing - even the windscreen is meant to reduce noise. When I fitted my Magnex it seemed like the car had gained about 30bhp - just because it sounded like a faster car..
