I'd still have my old ly f1 r27 if the gearbox's weren't  like chocolate 3 in 30k and new owner had to fit a 4th before he sold it  :fighting:

I miss mine, but I got rid at the right time - 6 months of fun, massively abused on track and all it cost me was the rent.



Did you lease it?

Back when it was desperate times in the car sales, you could get one of these for £200/month with no deposit. I added a few options inflating that but by the time I decided to jump the mags had raved about them, bolstering sales, and I was able to sell it back to the dealer at no real loss due to demand.

They fell on their arse later, and are an absolute bargain now. So much so I'd consider buying another as a toy. Forget power figures, these deliver in so many other ways.

Yeah they do.... But however you paint it. 190bhp isn't enough, even if it does stick to the road like glue.

Hmm - maybe if it was your only car, you'd tire of it, but as a toy it's more than enough to make you grin.

I think so slow is a bit harsh, as fast as a stock ed30

 I don't think that's the case.... My stock ed30 felt quicker than the 200

Thanks mate..

The clio has gone, so those were the last proper photos of it.

Boost in the house garage!
