Series 2 was a 106 8v 103bhp (the series 1 was 1.3 100bhp)
Best mod for mroe power is to drop a 16v lump in there from the gti. Thats 120bhp. They respond well to tuning too so 130bhp with a pugsport exhaust/decat and a decent enclosed induction kit. Cams and remap will see 155-160bhp.
They are very quick. I've got a stripped 16v series 2 capable of sub 9min BTG 'ring laps. It would be evenly matched with the 172 cup upto 60 and maybe start dropping back a little by 100. Very light, handle well and cheap to run and maintain.
They're cool, I own one, but Clios should own them
Only 103bhp, not much torque, so not too quick at higher speeds , but nippy with great handling and superb feedback. Running costs are cheap and I've never had problems with them anyway.
For me I like the looks the most though...

Looks like a really tidy one that you have.
Black is nice but i also like the solid blue colour like revels has
