I get the message:biggrin: Thanks for all the advise guys. Thought as much. Condition of the vehicle swayed me initially, so good to have an objective view.

Hi all, thinking of getting my first renaultsport and went to see this today. http://www.status1automotive.co.uk/renault-clio-16v-renaultsport-197-oly-30k-miles-in-birstall-2560486 Car was immaculate inside and out. Not a mark on it, other than steering wheel starting to peel. Alloys...

Looking for a 197 once I sell my MX5 and saw this at Harratts Wakey. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201031364793791/sort/priceasc/usedcars/model/clio/make/renault/page/1/keywords/f1/postcode/hd63lz/radius/20?logcode=p Can't help thinking it's two grand overpriced tho'...:bored:

First pictures I've seen... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201029364199337/sort/priceasc/usedcars/make/renault/postcode/hd63lz/radius/1501/page/1/keywords/gordini?logcode=p:thumbup1:

To be honest, it would depend entirely on how much I got for my MX5. I'm hoping for no less than £11,500. I'd also be wanting a lower mileage R27, ideally less than 25k.

It's an '08 limited edition Niseko in Icy Blue with brown hood and brown leather. It's the 1.8 and has done 20K. Full Mazda service history, with a year's warranty left on it. I also recently fitted the chrome fuel filler lid which really adds to it. Hopefully this link works...

Thanks for the advice guys. Just need to sell my MX5 now! Anyone know somebody who wants a great looking soft-top?:biggrin:

Does FF mean the standard 197?

Agree. Colour will play a big part in which car I choose, and as you say, 24,000 isn't a lot. Not far from Wakefield...live in Brighouse, work in Leeds. Time to look on Pistonheads!

Yes, it was Harratts. Shame the F1 didn't come in Glacier White, apart from the very last one! Can't see many on Autotrader, but this one looks interesting. They also have a low mileage Cup in white, so a good chance for me to compare the two in situ...

Ooops! My mistake. ;/ Got mixed up with Renault Leeds!

Well, following up on my introduction on the New Members section, I popped along to Evans Halshaw Renault in Wakefield on Saturday for a test drive. They had two 197 Cups in, both blue. Have to say the condition they were presented in was terrible. The one I test drove had a shattered driver's...

Hello all, newbie here... Up until February I had had a Mini JCW GP for 18 months which was a fabulous little car - 218bhp and a sublime pop and crackle on the overrun - but my wife never really took to it and we ended up with an '08 MX5 instead. I liked it at first and we clocked up 4,000...
