I sold my old Clio 197 F1 edition in January for a Megane R26, but recently I had been having an itch for another as although the Megane was much quicker, it wasn't just quite as fun as the Clio.
I saw a racing blue 197 F1 on Instagram from England and sent him a DM asking him to let me know when he wants to sell. And a couple of months later, he got in contact. We arranged the sale and i got on Friday the 20th July. Fortunately it wasn't too expensive to add the Clio onto my insurance policy along with the Megane.
So it is a racing blue Clio 197 F1 edition. #320/500 and 1 of 36 in this colour and the only modification is a KTEC cat back exhaust which I think has quite a distinct tone to it.
I spent most of Friday and Saturday detailing it as there were plenty of swirls to remove and things to do to it to get it to a level I was happy with. It's first time out after collecting it was to the RMS BBQ that following Sunday where Jamie took these great pictures. This was also my first time attending any RMS meet and it was a great day.
So far all I have done to the car since collection was remove the sun strip and change the silver headlights for the smarter looking black insert ones.
Are there any other 197 owners on here? I haven't seen many around my area. I'll be keeping this thread updated with any changes to the car.
