Can't find a Nimbus!

[VIICarCare]

Budget is just under £6,000. Really struggeling to find one within budget. Theres planty of black, theres the mint red one for 5.5k but im set on Nimbus! It was only last monday I decided to put my 172 up for sale, now that went today Im being impatient & want a 197, lol. I got to use the vee until I get another. Not really thought out. Women eh :rasp:

 

[StevenMc29]

Link to the mint red one for £5.5k?

 

[Bluebeard]

You sold the Red one already??? Christ.

Staying in the club?

 

[VIICarCare]

lol yeh not bad going eh, not even up for sale for 1 week!

An owner over on v6.net, think he's on here ocasionally

 

[Bluebeard]

Lets be honest, the fact it was yours and the fact there are 10,000 pics of it on the internet probably helped! lol.

 

[VIICarCare]

flol, aww mupps!

I love to keep my cars clean, cant help it!

 

[Gaz_]

Nimbus, bit meh imo

Looks like this 99% of the time in the UK due to lack of decent light, looks a bit.......................... brown?? Will Silver keep your OCD levels of cleaning happy?

Although when the sun is out, boom

 

[Bluebeard]

Nimbus is the best colour for a 197, FACT!

 

[VIICarCare]

hmmmm, ok first piccy was heart sinking. second piccy was pants tenting if i were a bloke

I've txt to go view the red 197 in kent. Will need black wheels, front spoiler & cup spoiler.

 

[Gaz_]

hmmmmmm

Dull overcast day = Champagne Silver i'd say

 

[imprezaworks]

told you it would be sold quick

 

[VIICarCare]

yeh but its an epic colour! Spotted one only 2 days ago, had a moment But, then red looks mint too

 

[VIICarCare]

told you it would be sold quick

You were right, 4 days ain't bad!

 

[imprezaworks]

What did you get for it, if you dont mind me being nosey. Pm if you would prefer

 

[Wick]

Up budget, buy Scott's. Done.

 

[Bux]

Nimbus FTW! Best colour... not that i'm biased

 

[jkyb]

That is spectacularly sexy.

 

[Knuckles]

Red > dirty silver

saw a nimbus 200 on the road not long ago and it looked very very bland. Didnt notice it was a 200 till I saw the exhaust trims.

but if stealth is what you're going for then go for it

Are you looking within a 3 mile radius !?

Autotrader .. searched Renault > Clio > 'keyword: 197' and there's 4 on the first page all cheap as chips :S

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201244490985448/ for example.

That's a Cat C.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I figured as much for the price .. but it was an example, my orangey moostachioed friend.

There are 3 or 4 others on the first page alone.

 

[Kris86]

up your budget and buy my nimbus r26

 

[VIICarCare]

Got £2600 for Daisy.

Going to look at one in kent today. Better brake out the vee!

 

[Matt e]

This one looks quite nice, it's got recaros aswell

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281000072019?

Hope link works

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks nice that but i think Dawn wants a nimbus one

 

[VIICarCare]

Cheers guys! Ive bought a 197! Picked her up from kent this morning. Very very pleased. Absolute mint Recaro's, mint steering wheel, climate control, really tidy motor!

 

[imprezaworks]

Bloody hell you dont hang about lol. Link to new car?

 

[peanuthead]

Must Say Daisy looked stunning when I saw her on Saturday, did you sell her later that day then? btw thanks for the cover etc will smarten up my engine a treat.

looking forward to seeing the 197, especially after you have attacked it with that whole room full of cleaning products!!!

 

[Matt e]

what colour?

 

[Matthew]

Some bargains to be had with the 197's these days.

The box would scare me slightly though..

 

[Christopher]

Please don't fit a Chav Spoiler.

You'll ruin it for the next owner who might have taste too... since you have to drill the bootlid. DRILL THE BOOTLID.

 

[EdV6220]

Fast mover Dawn, respect

Hope you saw sense and got a LY R27

Its mainly due to who renault contracted in to build them

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I've seen it.

Looks like a shed.

Pretty sure she only bought it as it needs cleaning !

 

[VIICarCare]

Hey Rob you little muppet!

 

[lesley]

it looks pretty needs your touch tho dawn!

 

[Wick]

Are the boxes that bad? How many miles of abuse vs motorway miles are we talking? Rebuilds, replacements, syncros? What's the crack (pun not intended)...
