16v sport

Hello, not been on this forum for long time. It had funny 2016 for me but I'm glad it over now and I can't comments about it.

Want to know what I been up to in rest of the summer??

I still got my clio 197 and Trophy 220 too. I spend more time other things and went to Germany for holiday.

Oh somethings else came up on my drive......I brought super rare 1999 Clio 1.6 16v sport with full leather, light weight alloy bonnet and full options. This is not RSi model because 16v was early first mk2 clio sport and the 172 didn't come out till after March 2000 so RSi replace 16v in summer 2000. Only different is RSi have half leather and no alloy bonnet. I use to have mk2 RSi 9 year ago so any way I never see full leather interior before so that got to be very rare! I could have brought ph1 172 but this is much rare and I got 2 RS clio already. Here few pics I took in next project.....
