The PH1 172 Appreciation Thread.

So clean, oddysey looks mega in the sun, roughly how many 172s did Renault sell in NZ? I assume some were imported? And do they salt the roads over there?

I agree that that they look the best on the sun, on the shadows is just a blue. On my count I have 30 and only one import from Singapore , but could be more, and probably 21 or 22 still alive that most are silvers.
And no salt to no more than superficial rust. so they hold better than UK.

I agree with that, for my knowledge looking at cars since I came to NZ I have 29 ph1 sold in NZ and 1 Singapore import, Unfortunately only 22 or 23 alive and most of them are silver. Could be possible that more have been sold in NZ but not sure.
And I don't believe they put salt on the roads so is only so is only superficial rust.

This one’s had a bit of a refresh…

Paint tidy up is the next job on the list, and drive it as much as possible!

Underside looks good. Would love to give mine a refresh like that.

Figured it was finally time to get mine out of the shed and taxed this year. Lets hope the sun keeps shining like it did today!

Looks amazing, are you able to share the part numbers for the ABS sensors that you use? Just to add it on on my whishlist?

Cheers.
