Would you swap a ph2 for a Ph1?

Totally, use what ever word makes you happy, but to me any crimson car is just an old person bus ?

Super c**t upgrade ?

I’d make the perfect 1*2 by getting a Ph.1, throwing a cup gearbox in it and doing a Ph.2 dash conversion, and leave the other mechanicals the f**k alone. Okay, maybe a fatty induction kit, the bwaarp is nice. But everything else standard.

Do it! As mentioned several times, rust is the killer. Mainly confined within the inner sills, make sure you remove the rear door speakers (takes a few mins) and stick a camera down there. I would also check the boot floor to be safe.

I haven’t see another on the road.

Oh that Flamer!!! I did love my iceberg ph1 but the dash was...well gash.

Zero interest in any phase 2 172 from me, not a cup, not a flamer or Monaco, none of them really do anything for me, they were just a warm up for the 182 when the styling got slightly better and colours waaaaaay better. Plus flamer is like naples..... Old man red innit

Well I've had both and as of 21 May this year I think I class as old

I love the phase 1 styling. I love how they look slightly thrown together. The front arches are somehow more obvious. It looks a bit more rough and ready.

I think the ph1 dash aged pretty quickly and the ph2 made it look so dated, but as times moved on and the ph2 dash looks old hat, the ph1 now looks retro cool! always loved mine with the retrimmed wheel, alloy knob and white dials!

The ph1 dash feels more solid and better built too.

Loving the blue ph1 with Williams alloys
