Hi new to the forum french car enthusiast dilemma

[Torquesalot83]

I just turned 36 and have been a mechanic for 18 years. I love French cars and was trained by a Frenchman but have always drove low performance bangers. Now I feel I deserve something that i want and enjoy maintaining but still on a bit of a budget. What spec and model clio RS should I be looking out for for the £2500 grand Mark bearing in mind I'm looking to restore e.g. engine and suspension rebuild the car. I've studied Wikipedia but it's info overload. Any help thanks guys.

Decent enough 182 with cup packs or a rough 197 for that budget I’d say.

Sorted I prefer the 182 anyway but the prices vary so much as long as I know I can get a decent enough car at that price I'm happy. Thanks
