snoopy Posted 18, November 2007 Report Share Posted 18, November 2007 Hi all, Considering a black/gold clio f1 cup at MNR, they tell me that the previous owner had it for a short time before chopping it in on a R26. I was hoping it may be someone on here who could tell me the history. Snoopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 18, November 2007 Report Share Posted 18, November 2007 Welcome Snoop! IIRC the owner is certainly on here but I shall allow them to introduce themselves. Take the plunge, you won't regret it! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcod Posted 19, November 2007 Report Share Posted 19, November 2007 Dr Gonzo's old car- it's been sitting there for quite a while. Do a post search for everything posted by him and you'll find some of the history of it out. BTW it's NOT an F1 Cup, it's just a normal 182 Cup.

Mase Posted 19, November 2007 Report Share Posted 19, November 2007 Hi snoopy Would be good to get another SA owner / driver on the rd and website As Alex said you won't regret it if you are after a 'drivers car'..these cars are made to drive top of their NA class even yrs after being introduced and even the 'forced induction' crowd IMO. Let's us all know if you go that way. Private mail me if you are going to negotiate with them at MNR as I got mine there. I'll give you some tips (this is important) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcod Posted 19, November 2007 Report Share Posted 19, November 2007 IIRC the tyres were fairly worn on the car Gonzo when I had a look? Keep that in mind when negotiating because they're not cheap tyres (and also hard to obtain.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emu Posted 19, November 2007 Report Share Posted 19, November 2007 Hi Snoopy, good luck with your buy, Gonz's Cup is a very good car I believe, it never had any serious problems, and MNR will look after you well Having said that, I'd be ruthless with them on price, as they must be sick to death of seeing it on their stock list incurring floor plan interest daily.............they'll cut their losses to quit it, don't let them bluff you. My 2 Cups have been 99.9 %faultless, superbly reliable cars which get caned without mercy Murcod's right(as always) about tyres BUT, search this Forum, there's plenty of excellent tyres which suit up to 8/10th's driving beautifully and cheap as mid$100's Before I sold my Black Cup to Phil, I fitted a pair of top spec Goodridges to the rear(approx$215 ea), and they matched the front factory Michelins superbly at any speed. cheers pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
