There’s a customer of ours with a low spec mk1 clio on the drive, still has the dealers sticker in the back window, purchased from the site the company I work for now occupies (originally a Renault showroom, got knocked down and rebuilt into a Toyota showroom that closed and we moved in 20 odd years ago)

I'd really like a mk1 Clio 1.4S with the white painted sporty steel wheels and green bumper trim etc. Except that I remember my first wife's Clio had the universal problem that the rear window seal leaked, and it's vanishingly unlikely that you'd find one which has been garaged all its life to avoid the ingress, so they will all almost certainly have a marsh and corrosion under the carpets.

Found it on street view, forgot about the twin spoilers
also don’t look as low spec as I remember

It lives outside permanently and doesn’t go anywhere so it’s probably all seized up and if it has the ex mrs. jobbo’s problem it’ll be soggy and rotten

I believe all mk1 Clios suffered with the rear window seal not sealing so even looking at a Williams, check under the boot carpet and rear footwells.

There's a couple of nice ones on Car and Classic at the moment. But they're not cheap and the rattling after 150,000 miles may be epic.

I didn't know anyone with that issue. Neither car I had suffered any issues. The sunroofs were a disaster though

Nice Ph1 16v (the 2nd link). Very tidy but that shitty boot spoiler would have to go

Looks like it belongs on a different, later car, like it’s been robbed from a Saxo

@scotta convinced me to go along to the Coffee meet at James Glen Cars in Airdrie (a few miles East of Glasgow).
Mind-bending turnout - practically the full industrial estate filled with a massive range of metal. Usual mix of CG's who are CG's like you, and other CG's who are not CG's like you.
Loads of interesting stuff there, but it's easier to borrow other people's images.
Somebody got papped. Image watermarked by pro photographer.
I hung around this for a while in the hope of getting some professional tippex tips, but the owner didn't return.
One for the G-SpotWagen fans (of which I am not a subset). 24". Appeared to be machined from billet. Looked gash.
One for
@integrale_evo
This was the Clio with the "V6 00 YEH" plate. Noice.

The RS6 wheels look humongous. Are we up to 25s now?

Does he ever get the whole car in one photo? I assume splitting it across multiple photos is an Instagram thing.
That Celica appears to have GT-Four bonnet and front bumper but it won't have the mechanicals, I'd be fairly confident

Alpine A290. Looked decent in grey. Should be a good buy in a few years.

Are you at work? It's from the Facebook CDN, so might be blocked....

Nope. But my PiHole blocks that stuff. I looked at the links and realised why.
