Anyone owned HT53 HTY?

[TomROW]

Going to see this car later, it’s had 9 previous owners so I’m hoping someone on here has owned it at some point and flag if there was anything to know about it.

Cheers!

Definitely the right reg? Doesn't show any details with the DVLA.

Reminds me of this video

Haha.

It’s now on a private reg, that was the old reg on it until 2022.

Anyway, went to see the car - 3 hour round trip to see a “mint” car that had rotten sills, barely holding idle, struggling to find gears, dangerous to drive with the random camber on ever wheel…..9 hrs wasted this week based on lying adverts I’m starting to give up hope of finding anything.

Had a look at the for sale section here? Two very nice Clios up at the moment, an arctic and an inferno.

 

[TomROW]

Yeh I have, Inferno too modified and Arctic too expensive.

Looking for something £3-5k, needs bits doing to keep me busy for 12 months that ends up being a £6-8k quality car I can then maintain and keep long term.

There must be a fundamentally sound car out there that needs a bit of TLC, but I’m spending so much time and effort (and money!) and still turning up rubbish.

Would be worth sticking it up on here so members don’t waste their time also.

If it's the car I think it is I remember it new . Ended up inside our local Westfield for sale for a while from a 2nd hand car dealer.

Was a minter back then about 5 years old at the time with one of them funny font no plates

 

[TomROW]

Yeh it has the metal pressed plates in the boot.

Reg on it now is L3 GUF, advert says “10 months MOT” but I checked and it expires in Feb 25 so I guess that means it’s been up for sale for 5 months.
