I can ask around or leave a note if you want me too?Maybe they wanna sell it? Could be cheap…

Bloke down the road from me has a blue Clio V6 down the side of the house. Hasn't moved for years and years.
Yeah Ph2. Half tempted to make an offer although I suspect they're one of those people that will wait until it's worth a fortune even in a complete state.Phase 2? I never understand this mentality. Follow a page on FB with cars lying abandoned and i’m surprised near daily what people leave lying exposed to nature thats actually worth decent money😵💫

Worth asking but agree owner prob thinks its worth as much as a well loved one.Yeah Ph2. Half tempted to make an offer although I suspect they're one of those people that will wait until it's worth a fortune even in a complete state.
Doesa he own the mk1 Xr2 as wellCrazy letting it sit there and get in a right state.
Theres another white r26r in the lakes district in similar unloved condition. Owner wont sell.
I know exactly which one you mean, the most pictured xr2 in the lakes. Somebody persuaded them to sell it and it actually moved without folding from memoryDoesa he own the mk1 Xr2 as well

The owner came across the note I left and got in contact with me on Saturday.
Seemed like a nice guy.
- He’s owned the car since 2012 and said at some point it’s had a mechanical overhaul (he said 2001, probably meant to say 2021. I didn’t query it as I didn’t have the time).
- I think he said that it’s been left to sit as the engine has blown/has a problem. He is going to be sending it off to AW motorworks for a forged engine build which he says is going to cost him £5k.
- He says he wasn’t looking to sell but would be open to the idea and is up for a conversation about potentially doing so. However, he may not want to when he gets it back.
- I think he said he’d be looking to sell it to someone who had longer term ownership prospects (can’t fully remember if he said this or not). He is also aware of their rarity.
- He also owns a white Meg 3 RS
@Ant1, still want his number?
Anyone else interested, if you’d like me to send you his phone number just send me a pm.
Here are a few more photos I took after leaving the note:
