Some of you may remember me, as I've had two saxo's previous to my Clio 197. My first was a White 1.0, and my second was my very well cared for Icelandic Grey VTR, and now my daily driver a Black Renault Clio Sport 197.
Having wanting to have a little project car and to start doing some track days I thought that a little VTS was perfect for what we wanted. So me and my mate went on the hunt for a 'fixer upper' me and my mate are going halves on the project. Even Cheaper!!
Just over a week ago, we spotted a mk1 VTS on eBay with a few things that needed doing, made him an offer and he accepted. So if all was well, we was going to have it. Made the 4 hour journey down to view the car, and all what was said in the advert and via messages was true, so we had it.
