Original Mk1 Clio Cup

[fabulicious]

15k on a cup racer is big mileage......looks a nice car though

ai thats another thing that had me thinking.
Let alone the startup costs but I imagine spare's come in very handy in the track and rally scene also

Surely it wouldn't cost a silly amount of money/effort to make it road legal so it can be driven to track days

I've sent him an email this morning to find out about the registration documents for the car.
I could ask Northy to bring it as far as holyhead and I'd just drive it onto the ferry.

Just down the road mat!! Fancy a look at the weekend??

If you would be able to view it and give some feedback that would be great.

The car has never been registered as far as i know.

If the car has the original Vin plate and chassis number on the turret you can get a age related plate (H)

Once it has ownership documents that's all that matters as far as I would be concerned. I can insure it via the chassis number if needs be temporarily. I'm only 4 miles from the port so I can arrange a transporter this end easily enough.

So been in touch with the owner and he has advised me that with a race car there are no ownership papers. All you get is a receipt when you purchase it.
For me that would have to come with a trailer which means costs go spiralling upwards.
Just a correction on the mileage recorded. It has 7K.

Thats ideal, no DVLA / government paperwork. Its as simple as buying a loaf of bread.

true,
unless that is your going through customs and excise barriers in which case unless it's a delorean, the 4 wheels need to be off the ground!

Very nice.

Valver manifold though?

Bet you'd love those wheels Mat.

Enquired about this it has a 1.8 16v 130bhp engine in, does anyone know if this is the correct engine for the car?

It's the correct engine for the cup cars, none of that 2 litre bullshit for proper race cars :P
They're actually 137bhp out the box but it should have the ecu with the cup map on so will be closer to the 150bhp mark assuming it has the ecu the cup cars are supposed to have
