Just purchased a low mileage 172 CUP

[BenCup]

Hi all, back in a 172 CUP after 16 years, really is the one car I wish I had never sold. Managed to find a completely unmodified example, with great history and only 19K on the clock.

Looks super clean! Can we play guess the price??

I'm going for £8,750.

 

[BenCup]

You can if you like, all I will say is I paid a bit of a premium for it!

 

[Short Norman]

I've just found the advert

are you going to use it much?

 

[Crybert]

That looks fantastic. I regret selling mine so much. Absolutely adored it

 

[Daz...]

Wow, that must feel factory fresh!

 

[BenCup]

Well probably more than it has been, it is a second car and will come out the garage on nice days for a bit of fun. I've insured it for 3000 miles a year.

 

[Howell]

oh my

All I'm going to say is, f**k you Ben and what a lovely purchase.

 

[Ocsltd]

That's lovely!!

Was up for £16k I think

 

[The_Pirate]

Time warp condition that.

I’d probably get that detailed and the entire motor PPF’d.

Very nice mate, good to see there are still relics out there.

 

[Bleu]

Looks great. Don't want to be that guy, but sport badge needs aligning correctly (you probably already know this)

 

[Kenich.]

That is epic, worth every penny by the sounds of it!

 

[imprezaworks]

Was going to say 12k

 

[Brigsy]

Looks mega.

 

[Jackie]

Just don't crash it in the wet FFS

 

[BenCup]

Thanks for all the positive responses guys, I’m really pleased with it, I know it was expensive but it felt like it was now or never with the way good examples are disappearing and personally even at the money I paid no other car would give me as much pleasure driving it at that price point.

Completely agree. It will hold its value, no doubt about that. Lovely car.

 

[BenCup]

Cheers Gus, I really just wanted it, early days I know but can’t imagine selling it, made that mistake once already.

I also took the plunge for a low mile cup after regretting selling my last one... Mines on 28k.

lovely!

Crazy to think i bought mine for 8k - 18 months old with 20k on the clock

Would love another

If I move to Brazil I will have to sell mine which will kill me, to ship a car to Brazil it must be one year old or 30 years old, crazy rule

 

[Bleu]

What kind of stuff have you owned in between the two cups?

What?!

Well I sold the first CUP as I was getting a company car and have had one ever since, they have been a Vectra estate, Insignia, A3, A4 and currently a Toyota CHR, you can probably see why I have missed the CUP so much

 

[Bleu]

Haha! Can definitely see why you've missed it.

 

[rctempire]

Looks lovely that. Hope you enjoy it.

 

[Filipe Dias]

Amazing. Worth every penny !

 

[Marky_]

Very nice!

I had a browse on autotrader last night and noticed quite a few low (as in sub 50k) mileage 1*2's. I consider mine pretty low at 66k and i've been doing less than 3k per year so i guess people have been basically locking these away.

Oh and welcome to CS!

 

[Richyy182]

I love it!!!!! Cups are such good cars

Mines in 57k now. I considered mine low until I've now had a look at some of these examples!
