PH1 172s

[leeds_182]

I haven't seen one on the road in ages and saw one yesterday.

What a good looking car they are now! Didn't use to like the front end on them but much prefer them to the 172 now.

Only ever had one before which was an exclusive but seeing that one had me heading to the classifieds.

 

[imprezaworks]

They look pants as standard imo

 

[Stefan.]

Still look good imo

Scotts was by far the best.

 

[leeds_182]

Give over.

 

[Daz...]

Silver Ph1 ftw!

 

[Djw John]

Cataracts.

 

[daveski]

Love them. I had two, should never have sold the first one

 

[Jekyll]

Yeah the look much cooler than there successors imo.

They look wicked with spacers and lows.

So you prefer them to your rb mate?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Best looking of the bunch. The sport bits look a bit more "stuck-on" than on the Ph.2, but that really adds to the appeal for me.

 

[imprezaworks]

As standard they do imo look a bit meh. A touch of lowz sets them off

 

[Jekyll]

So you prefer them to your rb mate?

Yes bud.

I wished I'd kept my old ph1 and got it sprayed but at the time it wasn't worth it. Hindsight I guess.

Trying to find a mint one with no rust is hard now.

They just look cool.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yours was ace

 

[Jekyll]

1 of 99 and rust free too.

 

[Djw John]

If I could find a rust free non silver one I'd swap the rb for it for sure.

 

[imprezaworks]

I owned mine for two years so can't be too bad. Can see me keeping the rb longer,

Maybe.

 

[Bluebeard]

Silver (or Green) Ph1, lowered with spacers, a decent steering wheel and you're f**king winning. Great cars. Best looking too.

 

[ChrisR]

Wish I'd kept my black one all those years ago

 

[Bluebeard]

I wish I'd kept X404HOU (the CS slag) and saved it from the crusher.

 

[Mr R.]

Silver Ph1 ftw!

So glad the Odyssey fell into my lap when it did. Super looking things. Miles better looking than the phase 2

did someone say mint low mileage phase 1 in silver :tonguewink:

Think mine went through 2 or 3 more people on here after me, not sure where it is now though.

Someone did but it wasn't me, find me the same but not silver!

 

[ChrisR]

Couldn't remember who had mine, forget who bought it off me, then it was sold to theduck http://www.cliosport.net/threads/pearl-black-ph1-172-£800.724081/
Then looks like it went in 2014 but not sure where after http://www.cliosport.net/threads/black-ph1-172-£900-surey.728462/

only got silver sorry.

 

[Djw John]

Get the brushes and rollers out then!

 

[gwyn rallye]

I think they look great from the front (better than 1*2) but shite at the back. The back bumper has always looked wrong to me.

 

[Daz.]

I still want an exclusive now!

 

[Willliams]

The original, and still the best in raw, driver involvement... Love an original 172.

Kelv sold it to @Chi

I went to buy it but was put off by the rattly dephaser, so ended up buying AD52 BHP from @Daniel

 

[Bluebeard]

Good choice sir...

 

[masekwm]

Oddly, day before I bought it, I was at @leeds_182 house looking at his Cup, if he'd text me earlier I'd never have bought it.

3 years later, I can't bring myself to get rid of it!

They have that effect. My mk1 is in a million pieces in the garage, it will realistically never get finished, but I can't bear to part with it. It's a member of the family! Lol

 

[yeecup]

Had djw john flamer years back, loved it until the timing belt snapped, then bought the mint iceberg one off r sports cars which was a cracking little car which Dr Jekyll bought off me which is also now dead. I'm cursed

 

[Djw John]

Aye, that went years early as well, think you might be right about being cursed actually.

this wasn't eric the black phase 1?

 

[Akay]

I wish I'd kept X404HOU (the CS slag) and saved it from the crusher.

It was completely rotten when I had it

 

[Christopher]

I'd have another in a heartbeat. I miss mine way more than my old 182.
