just over 2k mate
absolute bargain! bar the dodgy handling I really am loving the 172, not as fun or direct as the Williams, but it's better in different ways... namely reliability for me!

not sure really mate,it was just out of tax,so had to taax it,and the n/s window didnt work (£50 quid = new reg and moyor all fine now :) )
its got a few lil dings and scratches on it but nothing too bad,front has a few stone chips,it used to be a company car so i think its spent most its life on the motorway
fingers crossed tho and iv done 1k in it so far and she been brill

Nice. Like it a lot. 8) Almost makes me want one, but I will never again own a black car. :lol:
SLAM IT
looks good mate and amazing price. :)
Always had a soft spot for mk1's - Test drove one many moons ago and liked it a lot.
I'd have an exclusive though if I was getting one... that green and those wheels 8)
