Initially thought it was a rep as i didn't think anyone would actually do that to a Vee.

That number plate... Bet the owner was well 'Mad', lol it's what you'll have to be to buy it.

 

[BoatNonce]

I actually quite like that. I'd have to make the engine cash the cheques that the bodywork's writing, but it's pretty cool IMO.

Interior looks s**t though.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

They should be left well alone, a car that should forever remain OEM.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I quite like that. Change the wheels back to original and get rid the rear diffuser back to original and it would look nice. And get rid of the stickers.

Lol and give it a metalic paint?

 

[George182]

Change the wheels and the steering wheel... Apart from that I quite like it!!

 

[-Danman-]

I actually like that, apart from the steering wheel and diffuser.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I like it too but as above change the wheel & the steering wheel and it would be alright!

​Seats are nice!

 

[.GAZ.]

That would look superb on Mk2 Vee wheels.

 

[m4tt274]

Hate matt black, but i think it would look alright actually. Titanium silver or infact any colour would looks awesome!

 

[theduck]

Looks ok actually. Diffuser is a bit mental and the v6trophy spoiler is marmite but yeh it's a good effort.

 

[Gally]

It just needs a bit of work. At least it doesn't have shitty seats!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Nope don't like it, seats are awesome though.

 

[Ash.]

That's bin for sale a few times I might go and have a look at it just to see what it's really like.

 

[Sport200]

Would be a great track car.
​
If it had original alloys and you took the diffuser off then I don't think it would look to bad.

 

[plymcl172]

doesn't look to bad but 12k for a fiddled PH1 V6 is a joke! if he left it standard it might go for 9-10k

 

[Naith]

it's 'busy' i'll give it that...

 

[Inequality Street]

Awful, dislike a lot.

 

[Kyle 86]

The matt black spray job ruins it for me

It's been wrapped not sprayed. No idea what colour is underneath though.

 

[Kyle 86]

Oh is it wrapped. Ive seen a lot worse clios lol

 

[JCC]

Matt black - yawn.

Make it a decent colour, ditch the wheels and steering wheel and I'd have that.

 

[Sport200]

more than likely iceberg

 

[theduck]

more than likely iceberg

​100% its silver

 

[AshWebb]

Yea I checked, it's silver underneath! It's not great but it's not the worst I've ever seen.

 

[Sargara]

The thing is, wouldnt it be cheaper just to buy a Ph1 V6 for the £7k'ish they go for, and fit those seats yourself (which seems to be the only unanimous good point) and pocket the change?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Ph1 V6 for 7k? Seriously?

Can you link please?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Change the wheels and it would be decent imo. Rear diffuser is a bit "try hard" but yunno.... #becauseracecar

 

[BREMBO]

I would move out the way quickly if that came behind me, looks a bit of beast.

Agree change the whels/steering wheel but that on the original alloys would look stupid

This was priced at 7K, but the listing hints that the seller accepted a lower highest bid.

[edit] Noticed it was a CatD from the listing. Shame

From what I've seen most ph1's that come up are in excess of 10k.

The phase 2's have gone up as well over the last few years and a good one will be around the 15k mark.

Really? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...6108683?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item417504948b

The only ones I've seen that still get anywhere near 15k are the ones with virtually no mileage on that have been sat in a garage for 10 years

 

[Chip-mk1]

I dont like the wheels or the steering wheel or the colour of the seats, but thats all easily changed, overall I reckon its not far from being a cool car.

People seem to be talking the prices up on here a lot more than they are actually selling for TBH.

Dont forget that just cause something is advertised at nearly 20K etc, doesnt mean it will actually sell.


That said, for the really special cars, that collectors want etc, Steve at R-Sport seems to be able to always find buyers with deep pockets!

That cars done 60k not a good car in my book, 60k worth of stone chips and wear.

​There's been two on here recently one being a LY @ 20k and the other being the sliver car Steve has for 18.5K so id say the low mileage cars are fetching nearer £20k than £15K.

 

[Cup_Phil]

LOL at 60k being bad for a 10 year old car...

V6 owners confuse the f**k out of me. Built to be used not looked at

Agreed, if you want an ornament buy one that isnt a car, then you dont have to mess around with SORN docs etc.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

ok I stand corrected. Maybe V6 ownership isn't as far away as I thought if you can get one for 7k!!

 

[ddouble]

Whilst you do see the odd phase one around 7k, it will usually only get you a bit of a dog that has been involved in an accident and or due/overdue a cambelt change. 8-12k is about the going rate these days for a decent phase one.
Phase ones are getting a bit thin on the ground in the UK these days (keep getting exported!) so price is only going to slowly rise as time ticks by.

Incidently, I understand the car which this thread started on has some accident history too. Tread Carefully.


That phase 2 at 11k has been written off previously aswell. made a right mess of the rear axle. Was also stolen recovered back in 2004.

The decent cars command decent money. But the odd bargain can still be had if your lucky with the timing!

 

[MarkCup]

Harness pad on an inertia reel seatbelt = instant c*ck status.

LOL

Hideous as it is, but easily recoverable it seems.
