Dont the latest sport models have 85bhp? (The formula sport is a special offer and not part of the standard range, I think).

The early 1.4 16v sports (52-04??) had 100 bhp and were fully loaded with climate control, full elecs etc. I had one on an 03 and it was very good. These were later replaced by the 2.0 115 bhp sport which was then phased out.
 
Yeh the latest ones have 85hp I read. The Formula model along with the DAB are special edition with different engines with close to 100hp.

The car I'm looking for is the 03 model with 100hp as standard.

Anyone selling theirs let me know please :D

Am I right in saying they didn't make a mk3 shape with the same 100hp engine?

Yeah I have the fully loaded one as well, except for electric wing mirrors.
The only thing is, it's only spicy above 4000rpm

Don't think the MK3 ever had the 1400 16v - it did have a 1.6 8v sport though with 100 bhp. Probs isnt as economical as the 1.4. I used to get 43mpg out of mine...which wasn't half bad.

I've just been looking at the 1.6 sport as well now. Could be another possibility...

Well I am getting around 33mpg in my 1.4mpi... So anything better than that, that is faster, then I'm chuffed!!
