And?
Right, my R27 has similarities to my old boys MK3 clio dci but ANYONE with half a brain could tell by looking at them they are very different.
Or are you just a hater' because for whatever reason you can't have a car with a bigger engine than a 1.2 yet in case you fall off it?

All the cooper s works I've driven have been averaging 24-25mpg. Certainly no worse than a FRS. The new turbo engine is better, but the chassis/steering is better on the 1st gen cars. Just bin the runflats on day one.
Ok guys, went to see this car, this evening:

Mint car, wheels are scuff free, paint work is great, not one dent on it (seriously), completely standard (not previously modified either), drove well!
I got it down to £9750. Its up for £10250.
Do you think this is a good price or is it too high?
I need other peoples opinions
Tempted to stick at my offer of £9.5k and let him decide on it

I think £9750 is a good price as it seems to be EXACTLY what you're after. (not modded or previously modded etc)
But if It was me, i'd try for £9500. The way everyone is at the minute, I bet he hasn't had much interest.

Talking to the owner and he stated there were no phases on this car, it was more of a fact that people had the sagging seats replaced under warranty with ones with better quality stitching.
Its quite hard to find a standard from day one car especially of this caliber.
The car is not the problem its the price, but the plate does soften the blow!
True!
I'm just wierd in the fact small things like that would sway me one way or the other on them!
the ph1/2 thing is kinda something between my mate and me i think, but it seems to be 53 onwards cars have the stitchinh, im yet to see one (been to see a fair few with him) that are 03 or older that have the stitching.

Definitely the car for me!
Yep its pretty minty! The owner was a proper enthusiast, The viewing must have been about 2 hours. That wasn't a single thing he didn't tell me!
It does look mint and unmloested, down side is the shadow chrome wheels which dont suit it imho. Pace wise standard though, I think you will find it disappointing, hence the number of modded ones.
I understand whilst there was no official ph1/ph2, but there was a change to some items such as seats during the manufacturing period. The seats where retrofitted on some older cars under warranty.

It has the pink throttle cable and the wording around the starter button but I don't think it has the revised stitched seat bases. The seat looks in good nick though.
I've also been told the private plate that comes with it is worth £500 - £750
Had the RS for a day now and I am loving it! Loving exterior, especially those OZ wheels with the 4 pot brakes.
Never had a turbocharged car before and it feels rapid, even though it only has 212 bhp.
I'll post some photos over the weekend once its had a clean.
I suppose the only let down is the interior but the rest more than makes up for it
