Possably Stolen Clio

[Vern]

I have a friend who just passed her test so bought an old clio 1.1 for £400 same shape as the williams, she asked me to check the oil and in doing so i noticed the chassis number has been drilled in and then a clear plastic sticker placed over this, im no expert but im sure chassis number should be on a plate or something ?

 

[lemonnobby]

no it has no plates and is stamped in with a sticker on it if i remember correctly

As above, all Clio's are technically a 1.1 anyway even the mk2's as they are 1149cc.

exactly i always say that like my mate who has a pug 106 1.1 says yeh your cars obv gona be faster than mine its a 1.2 i'm like no realy it isnt, also its only 42cc more than yours.


i dnt understand car manufactorers like a 1.2 punto is 1242cc and a clio 1.2 is 1149cc so thats 93cc differnce for the same sized engine :S

Yes they only had 4 speed gearboxes too lol. I wonder why they didnt make many

 

[TomTom]

It was mainly just getting rid of the last of the Renault 5 boxes/engines.

 

[AlexS]

Im sure when the first Clio mk1's were produced they were still making the 5 alongside it as a 'campus' model as they are now doing with the MK2 and Mk3. Must of had loads of 5 boxes and engines left over!

 

[Dan@SJM]

they are like that normally.

 

[GarethM]

my first clio was a H reg and had only 4 gears lol

 

[Dan@SJM]
