I think it is yes, plus with aircon and a sunroof its a rare model!
Also has the expensive 195/40/16 tyres on it, look much better!

Yeah had a wee gander at that on At myself

My V reg 1.6 sport was £1995 in Nov last year. Seems a good price, as the speedline alloys aint cheap!

Them badgeless grills, I have had them and changed back to the standrad V grill as I can't seem to get them to fit properly. My standard V grill clips in no problem, but the aftermarket grills just don't clip in and pop out and looks crap up close.
Tried my hardest to get it to clip in

I like that
Sort of price I'd expect to pay for one with that spec and condition.

Needs lowered 60mm and yes to a badgeless grill,never had a problem fitting mine and that car could be a winner,and also agree with putting the steering wheel back to original,but theyre just my opinions.Overall though it looks a clean car and I would go for it

Looks good Wooly, get it bought.
I went from a 1.2 8v to a 1.4 16v and you certainly feel more safe overtaking things

the 1.6 sport isn't that quick, I used to feel safer overtaking in my old MR2 turbo

No, but I overtook in my old clio 1.4 8v RT and that was bad enough.
