Very very nice have you got the tte emblem?

ha ha quite a bit cheaper than mine. never mind, i was willing to pay what i did, pleased you got a good deal mate.

Let me guess, you got it for a steal?!

Yeh I know what you mean- I felt like that when I had my bumpers done but the body is still mint. It's hard with these old cars though mate and at least it's going to be in great condition back on the road

Wow how'd you find that? Literally a handful left

Something quite nice about seeing it all wrapped up and prepped

I got my k&n panel filter from eBay mate - k&n themselves

Ha ha thanks buddy

They've come out amazingly. Love safaris

Wheels looking amazing mate

And cheers Dan, I'm in no rush at the min as she isnt going back to work just yet but I thought I'd put it up now and not be pushed for time

Hey don't knock venoms ha ha

Thanks mate very kind of you to say. If I could keep it I would, I think in a few years these will be pretty sort after. No offence to anyone but if they're planning on repping it then please don't enquire or just lie to me ha ha! It really is a stunning car and deserves to be well looked after.

Thanks mate I really appreciate that and I hope so too. I'll be gutted to see it go

Year: 1998 Model: SR Tax: 0 MOT: Sep 17 Mileage: 66,008 The time has come to put the SR up for sale. I'm a huge SR fanatic and after having one for my first car 13 years ago I'm back where I started. It took me absolutely ages to find a good one. After seeing quite a few others the quality, condition and history of this one stood out by a mile. The car has been cherished and is in lovely condition both inside and out. Anyone that knows me knows how meticulous I am with my cars and with this one it's even more so than usual. I avoid any built up parking areas and am obsessed with cleaning it

Ha ha that was a quick u turn. good stuff mate glad to hear you're keeping it. Mines in for MOT tomorrow and then going up for sale tomorrow night

Looks loads better mate. Refurbing the heat shield makes a big difference too. I think painting a rocker would also look great

Ah thanks mate that means a lot. I really have looked after it and love it to bits. I'll regret selling it like a lot of the other cars I've owned but it's always been out of my hands :/

Ha ha I wouldn't want to crash one. My 08 197 was literally falling apart though and only had around 50k on it compared to all the 90's jap cars I've owned with higher mileage. i prefer the build on them they feel much better put together. If I was after a track car though then I'd go for the 200, best fwd handling car I've ever driven and would put a lot of 4wd cars to shame.

Looks like both of ours will be for sale soon then mate! Why the change of heart? The clios are everywhere because they're cheap and pretty fantastic out of the box. Having had a 197 myself I'm a massive fan of hot clios but they're made of tin foil and fag packets. There are loads of rubbish ones around. If you're set on one then go for the facelift 200, all the niggles of the 197 were sorted. Or a 182 trophy ;) don't get a williams unless it's going to lead a sheltered life.

It's had a lot of work done to a very high standard and looks in fantastic condition. I'd love to live in a world where you could ask exactly what you want for something but you can't and always get haggled. GLWS mate shame to let it go after all the hard work.

V nice was that the boot liner from gumtree/ Facebook? I wanted one but felt £150 was too much for me. Ha ha not so secret secret box. Were those speakers ever an option for an SR?

Driving it today in the sun was cracking I love it, going to miss it loads. The exhaust sounds great and crackles on the over run

Yeh it won't just go to anyone, I want to make sure it'll stay as an SR. I'll be getting it MOT'd soon and then I'll have to put it up for sale I'm in no rush to sell as my lass isn't going just yet but just thought I may aswell put it up sooner rather than later as I'll have to find a decent replacement

:/ I used to be but am now in Andover. Miss that area
