Nicest looking, quickest IG12 car out there!

Was just over four figures to insure when I was 19 but now I'm 21 it's quite cheap to insure really. I don't want to go back to paying stupid premiums.....

i got mine cause that cunt summy kept taking me out in his williams
dam i love that car :(
tbh it was more like me saying lets go out for a drive lol (every day)

I wanted a valver since i first started driving at 17. 1 ford escort and 2 clio rt's later i bought one :D . I wanted one because of the looks really, and the fact that they are quite rare. originally was looking for a williams but insurance was about £1100 tpft and the valver was £800. I love it and hopefully if all goes well it will be a willy hybrid at some point

i had an rt first, loved that but got bored of the low power, wanted a williams but at the time they were still going for 8-9k! even the valvers will still 4-5k which is what i paid for mine. (2002) amazing how the prices for both have come so far down since then.

cos of the accident really......

and because u33db was lettin it go for silly money !........no1 else was prepared to do the mammoth travel up to Scotland, it was worth it

[J o n]

i got mine cos it was dirt cheap and a good car to piss about on... even more so now lol

[u33db]

I got mine as i wrote of my megane in an accident and i couldn't find a GTT up here.

It was odd with that car TBH; IIRC it was first registered in february 1993, i bought it in february 2003 after my accident then BRUN bought it off me in february this year because of his Clio GTT accident. Everything happening bang on its birthday each year...kinda freaky if you ask me! lol

Got mine because I wanted a Williams but not the Group 17 insurance. Group 11/12 for the Valver seemed much more affordable and the 5k asking price for a five year old Valver with 44K was a few grand less than an equivalent Williams.

Maybe I missed out on the 2 litre torque but as I have spent a bit on my Valver that can be added. Wider track less of an issue as have coilovers.
