antonyq Posted 23, October 2012 Report Share Posted 23, October 2012 G'day guys, My name's Antony and im from the innerwest Sydney! I've been searching for a Clio 197/200 for a while now and i think i may have found the right one !!!! Its a 2009 r27 in toro red which has been traded into a Sydney ford dealership and the boffins over there have no clue what it is . The only thing is, the log book wasnt stamped past 14,000kms and the car has now travelled 34,000kms. Apparently the owner was an enthusiast so im hoping they've been servicing it I very nearly bought the car this afternoon after a fantastic test drive but I needed to know more before i signed away. Here's a few pics, does anyone know more about this car? cheers guys image by gianlucaq, on Flickr image by gianlucaq, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasputin Posted 23, October 2012 Report Share Posted 23, October 2012 Yes! Another one in town. There seem to be quite a few clios around the inner west here. Welcome, Antony. You'll find some great info here. Beautiful car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonyq Posted 23, October 2012 Author Report Share Posted 23, October 2012 Noooooo, it sold!!! I called the dealer this morning to organize a time for my dad to come have a look and one of the workers at the dealership put a deposit on it! I'm gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 24, October 2012 Report Share Posted 24, October 2012 That must be horrible! Have you seen the black 200 in Perth for 197 money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy93 Posted 24, October 2012 Report Share Posted 24, October 2012 Gutted mate, I missed out on 5 or 6 172s, clios in good condition seem to get snapped up so quick around Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonyq Posted 24, October 2012 Author Report Share Posted 24, October 2012 @nemz, I've seen the 200 in Perth advertised on gumtree but I thought that would be a very tricky option in terms of trucking it over and transferring the rego to NSW? The distance to Perth is huge! If it was in qld/Vic I could drive it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 24, October 2012 Report Share Posted 24, October 2012 Yeah, I know mate. I was just thinking that uni holidays go for almost 4 months - more than enough for an epic roadtrip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonyq Posted 24, October 2012 Author Report Share Posted 24, October 2012 Hahaha very true!! But unfortunately work commitments will get in the way during Uni break. It's okay though, I've found another r27 on the north shore and I've left the owner a message. Fingers crossed its not sold too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonyq Posted 28, October 2012 Author Report Share Posted 28, October 2012 42,500kms however the servicing manual is very detailed and its never missed a beat. There's a few stone chips from freeway driving, and one of the wheels had some gutter rash It shouldn't be too difficult to get it back to A1 condition so thrilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
