Whos the youngest 197/200 owner?

31 for me for the clio.

however had some interesting cars when I was younger which I think were far harder to insure back then probably because they were tin can death traps..

17 - MG Metro Turbo
18 - 205 1.9 Gti
19 - 405 Mi16
21 - 106 rallye mk1
24 - 106 rallye mk2
28 - clio 172 cup

Thank god for being on a trade policy when I was younger... I remember one ins quote was over 3 grand.

It wasn't actually the insurance that stopped me pretty much driving anything I liked (up to 3.5 litre at the time)... just the cost of the cars.
 
So really the 197 is a young boys car. Why is the civic type r more to insure than a 197 though :\ - I really did want one of these!
 
Was going to be a 21st present to myself but due to my previous car breaking i got it 3 months early.

they dont hold the road as well and crash so cost more to insure :thumbup:
 
Also highly sought after by car thieves who target high performance cars.

Its just high performance like the 197 though :\ - and the 197 is better looking imo! so if i was a car theif, id go for the 197 as performance is equal but better looking. a CTR was like 2k more to insure for me :worried:
