Genuine reason for sale in that my growing family dictates I need a bigger car, much to my disappointment! I’ve described the car honestly and this is reflected in the price so texts of daft offers will be ignored.
This is a genuine 182 Cup, not to be confused with the regular ‘full-fat’ 182s that came with Cup packs. Only 371 Racing Blue Cups were ever made, making this rarer than the sought after Trophy’s.
Price: £4, 750 ovno
Location: Nr Dartmouth, DevonThis Clio is pure hot hatch joy. It does its job well, with a powerful two-litre engine and manual gearbox. It is a back-to-basics hatchback in very good condition inside and out, which is ready to be enjoyed on the open road.
