no one seems to realise the ph1 is the rarest 16V. It was only made for a year in britian, whilst the ph2 had from 92 - 95!

yeah but it don't make them worth any more when you go to sell it Chris.

give it time!

When people realise the clio is very over rated and th e19 is the better car they will go up in value.

Site Subscriber Joined: 11 Feb 2005 Posts: 2929

why, do you expect them to apriceate in value?

I'm sad though, I've never driven a car that I liked more than the p1 19 16v, even the p2 was a bit shoddy in my eyes. So I'll keep mine for years anyway.

well look at minis, really not very good but silly money.

xr2/3's all going up in value. Theres to many normal 19's on the roads so they are a common sight apart fromt he 16V's right enough.

Should go up in value.

yes but that ph1 was half ph2 as well and needed a lot of work to make it roadworthy, when i was under it at the weekend i could see holes coming thru the sills and inner archs, also the floorpan was not looking too healthy, it had already dontated a lot of bits to the blue hatch so having the engine out of it as well made my mind up to finally get rid of the remains.
I am sad to see it go, given the time and money and space, i would have rebuilt it but sometimes you have to be practical about such things and sadly for the white hatch the most practical thing to do was strip it of any useable parts and scrap the rest, it will live on in the blue ph2 and in the ph1 chammy.

you'll miss the ph1 hatch, especially going to the chammy.
