Quick question about Phase 1 172 spec...

[cjewkes]

My bro has just picked up a (2000) phase 1 172 in Pearl black and he has asked me what the spec of the car is as standard - as he has not had an owners booklet or anything with the car.

Would it have automatic lights, wipers etc?

I've not had chance to have a good look at it yet and i'm only familiar with Phase 2's.....oh and i will make sure he registers on the forum asap

Cheers
Craig

Cheers for all the info guys, my Bro is always interested in knowing the history of cars he is buying

I didn't realise the Pearl Black was such a limited colour...looks a pretty tidy motor he has picked up (will have to get him to post a few piccies when he gets back from Newcastle.

I think posting all that twice last night crashed the forum.

Hahaha, it may have just been too much information for the forum to handle!!!
