I saw a silver MKI 172 a couple of weeks ago now.
It looked really clean & seemed to be lowered on 17s.
Anyway, I pulled up next to him in my 172 Cup at the lights. I was having a good look at his car and admiring it for its condition.
When we pulled away we booted it and I proceeded to leave him behind.
That weight saving certainly made itself known in 2nd & 3rd!
The Jinx
How shiney are the red and blue ones?
I nearly bought one in that red colour, but missed out.
17s might have had something to do with it too.
I originally bought a Cup, It had sooo many rattles that I lost count. Went back to the mk1 172 - First car I have owned for more than a year so it must be good - Def. feels faster than the cup too, although not so standard anymore,lol
Mine is Iceburg Silver, Has to have been one of the last for that colour as it is a mk2 colour - Dont know whether to feel happy or left out!!
I used to have a mk1 Iceberg Silver 172 loved it, on a Y plate. It should still be in the gallery
Now I have to put up with this MR 320 as a toy!!

they are rare because they are old.
Dinosaurs are also rare in the Uk.
The Jinx
OLD? Theyre rare because they werent out long before the facelift.

That yellow un lowered? Looks low at the back?
Book figures for the dinosaur:
0-60 = 6.6
0-100 = 17.9
60-0 = 2.7
Standing qtr = 15.0 @ 94mph
Got a nice little mag when I bought mine, all figures from that, looks like a Autocar review.
