Frayzs clio is mega,one of the best around.Proper build with no short cuts.
Thanks so much Steve.

The biggest problem is how do you price it?
I can only really go off what it would break for and the insurance value.
It’s had an agreed value for the last 4 years of £8k after the insurance company viewed it in person.

Clios don’t sell though do they, people want champagne for lemonade money.

People will see the mileage, ignore everything else and slag the car off.

Breaking it is the only way to make money. You'll make loads too.

Seats, space, usability. It’s just not that kinda vehicle mate with child seats and the like.
For days out with two kids in child seats and a pram etc. I never had an issue with my Ph1.

But going on holidays and needing loads of bags etc on top would have been problematic.

Everyone's needs are different. Just a shame to see it go.

Sad to hear you have to move it on. It was always a great project which influenced some of my choices on the RB.

As has already been mentioned, the mileage will kill the price you’re suggesting. It shouldn’t, but it will.

Lots of premium parts on it though, which should fetch decent money, provided you can find a Clio owner with good taste 😂

It’ll be sad to see you no longer in a Clio, but good luck with the sale and thank you for all the tips and advice you’ve given me over the years.

Thanks mate. I suspect it won’t sell either.
I’ve got a nice mix of people telling me it’s a bargain and others saying it will never sell.
I suspect the latter.

For those that will ask - I’m looking for £8k as it will break for way more than that without too much drama. (I’ll await the onslaught of the internet to advise me of my shortcomings)

As it stands, the car winning the arms race is a phase 2 Meg 300 Trophy.

Time for a grown ups car…

Alright, it’s a nobby colour but it’s has 4 doors, isofix and not a cage or harnesses in sight.

Facelift Megane 300 Trophy
Ex Renault UK Press car
Liquid Yellow
Recaros
Trophy R Fujilight wheels and S007 rubber.
640 miles from new.

I had it serviced, 4 new tyres, wipers and mats before collecting it today.

Dad offered to run me up to Wolverhampton to collect it, so it was nice to get a run out in the Vantage. Not driven it for ages, it’s still such an epic looker and that 4.7ltr V8 makes a lovely racket when you burry the noisy pedal.

The Megane is going to take some time to get acquainted with. It’s got more menus than The Ivy in London!
Initial impresssions are … it’s bloody brilliant!
Chassis feels hyper alert and the damping is firm but still feels plenty plush enough. Diff and steering is just mega and the best bit of the car I think. Engine sounds good and it’s got plenty of yobbo noises in “Race”.
Motor feels a little flat down low but keep it on the boil and it really gets moving.
Interior is push enough to feel really good quality and special but still familiar Renault.
Cup holders are s**t, arm rest is s**t, CarPlay isn’t wireless which is annoying.
Surprisingly quiet at motorway speeds even on S007s, but feels like it wants a 7th gear for cruising.

It’s absolutely filthy with lots of ingrained grime, so wants a proper clean and decontamination.
Lots to learn and explore but feels absolutely mega and imo looks the business.

Didn't realise you'd got this from Wolverhampton Renault.
Looks spot on though! Enjoy it

Well… potentially today is the day she leaves.
I’ve felt sick for days thinking about it, but know it’s the right thing to do. There are people in the world with far greater problems than selling a car, but feels like I’m about to have an animal put down!

How is it, we are so attached to cars?

Driving is about the feel of the road, the relationship between man and machine. These cars were built to stir the soul and you're about the give a piece of it away.

Well she’s gone -

I feel like I’ve just been forced to shoot my favourite animal. 😔

Absolutely brilliant car, never once let me down and gave me so much enjoyment. If the new keeper gets even half as much from it that I have, it’ll likely be the best car he’s ever owned too.

End of an era. X

Who’s it gone to? I thought after the thread the other day you were undecided which to sell! Was hoping there would be a for sale thread that would cause me to consider 🤣

Didnt have a chance to advertise it mate, I never wrote an advert for it. I was approached by a few people once I suggested it might go and then when the meg arrived it got serious. I had a buyer at me offering a price and we agreed.
I'll let them disclose themselves in their own time.

Thanks to Frayz, a complete gentleman and proper enthusiast, for giving me the opportunity to acquire WZD.

While it won't be my daily, it will be enjoyed and cherished thoroughly in the same manner it was in Frayz' ownership.

Now, anyone want to buy an LY?
