A bit of F1 197 info?

[WILLYx]

Sold my Gordini 182 recently and looking at getting an F1 edition 197 (My 182 was stripped and bare, so this is the sensible idea )

Obviously im only looking at F1s with Recaros.... But was just wondering what features come with the F1 as standard and what are optional extras?

Stuff like push button start?

Also, any new problems to look for when buying a 197?

Any help is appreciated.

Standard is plaque, Recaros ,Cup Chassis, Anthricite alloys & broken gearbox,

Options to have-
Xenon or projector lights.
Climate.

You can get a regular 197 with recaros and cup chassis. I don't see the fuss with the f1's myself

What's the broken gearbox bit?

Seriously mate, pop over to clio197.net, set aside an hour or two and read through the gearbox thread.

Not to mention the worn seats as well.

The sub 30 mpg average

Well what else is similar money with as good spec?

They are a good car.

Its just this site that has a downer on it as its very MK2 based. Mines fine, 45k, recaros perfect condition, gearbox fine. MPG is the same as a Type R, go figure.

​Well that settled it.

That's stunning ^

Thanks, well happy with it.

Recaro seats, 4 week old SPAX RSX (need raising slightly), Piper catback, near mint paintwork, 85k miles (which is low, most are up and over 100k!) and the lad gave me some brand new rear camber arms and heko wind deflectors and came with FSH.

​Can't complain.

Looks clean mate ! Good buy!

I don't fancy Type-R's but that one is smart!
