Thanks for the nice comments on the Clio folks. I've spent a day cleaning it inside and out and replaced the nasty steering wheel with the original. It's like a different car now. Also ordered all the bits for the major cambelt service which I'll attempt with a mates supervision, also new fluids, number plates, and a few other bits.
@lynx one has a little kerbing, but I have 3 spares, so I'll get the tyre swapped over and make a perfect set to repaint.
@Cornish_Bike 120 - I hope she got off with just a ban!
@Chak I think there's probably a handful of these in existence that's not been ragged, and I'd say those were the ones that were misused!
I guess that these are old enough now that they've hopefully gone through the 'run-into-the-ground' owners and have seen slightly more love over the last 5 or so years as weekend/track toys. This one has definitely seen a track before, judging by the solid top mount drillings and adjustable rear ARB, Semi-slicks, etc but it's super straight and looks to have been lucky to avoid any accident damage.
@TRA these are the original Cup Turini's they just look shite in black. Clearer picture attached.
