Make my mind up for me!

In 2 minds what to get, Looking at 197's and 182's, They will be rarely used, Just kept clean with subtle mods with the odd track day

Both seem to be around the same price now, Have found a 197 i like with Lux pack, All major works done, Also very keen on the Monaco 172 in the sales section

Help.

Wouldn't worry about spec tbh
I'd personally try a 197/200 just be careful buying.

I was in the same boat not long ago.

Looked at 197s as not fan of the 200 front end

Ended up in a 182 trophy.. I do like the 197s but come with fair few bills if not already done.

The 197 does require deep pockets, both for maintenance and fuel. (I average 19mpg at the mo.)

Test drive both and see what you prefer. The 197 is definitely more “luxurious” but in the same breath it’s also a lot lot heavier.

I have a 182 just for track, Iv had 6 other 1*2's (172 flamer van was my favourite) Always fancied a monaco with the subtle turinis, Cup spoiler blah blah blah

The one in the sale section has had engine and gearbox out which worries me a tad but yeah I really like the idea of minting it up

Its got to be a 172/182. Decision made... Now to find one.

Loved my 200. So much more spacious inside and the 6 speed box made a big difference for me, compared to 5 in the 1*2’s

MK3 every day of the week for me. I can't think of a reason to buy s 182 over one other than £££

Just nicer for an pottering around car?

Surely if your pottering around you would want somthing nicer to potter about in? A MK3 drives radically nicer and is a nicer place to be

For what you've described @cliocollins 172 Cup would be ideal, mint but still useable fun at weekend and the odd track day. Also it'll hold its value better than most 182/197 or maybe creep upwards.
