Can’t believe I am going contribute two days in a row. Perhaps I need a word with myself. Another hot hatch and for me the best one to come out of France. Shows that crazy nature when they want to. I loved this when it came out and wish I had bought one when they went to around 14k as this one is now 40k. The days of them doing something like this is well behind us I would imagine which is sad as the French do this so well. Megan’s R26 R.

I was looking at these and Impreza P1 when I sold the 3200 both were under £20k.

Which is why you should buy a DS3 racing now

There are three on PH. The two under DS racing and one under DS racing black. The private sale racing black looks good value at £5800 with 80k on the clock.

I take it though they had the Prince engine found in the Mini Cooper R56 ?

Looks like good fun to peddle, but also like one of our kids has been let loose with a highlighter pen.

That Tron Lamborghini has a lot to answer for.

You can see where the colour scheme inspiration may have come from at the time. Porsche always seems to start stuff like this and others follow.

The higher miles private sale looks better than than the low miles one for me as if you are going to have one have the full blown decals etc as that is how they should be.

I would probably agree, Sarah and I have just been discussing car options over the last few weeks and we seem to be coming round to keeping the Range Rover as the family bus and buying a smaller fun car as the other (only stipulation is it must have 5 seats for this odd occasions when the RR is being used for something else).

I was thinking Fiesta ST or Abarth 595 but the DS3 has a lot going for it but I really wanted an RCZ-R but it fails on the 5 seat rule

The DS is way the cheapest with the potential to not depreciation and possibly go the up over time withnn by its rarity. Only 1000 built.

Loved the BX GTi I had in the late 90's and my son who was about 10 then couldn't believe what this ugly car could do :)

Had a couple of BX Diesels when we were poorer. Not little, so I have no issues with liking them. Slug slow (automatics) but you just jammed your right foot down and that was it.

Mrs C didn't originally believe about the suspension going up and down :D
