I know it was chassis number 1 and from the Renault collection but at over 15,000 miles crazy, but that was the market a few years back crazy

We have a thread running on the Trophy forum documenting sales through Collecting Cars over the last few years.

Makes for interesting reading if you’re into that kind of thing.

I love this and hate it at the same time. I love it because you can see it looks genuine (I always look for that little bit of sponge under the bonnet near the NS front wing – very few have this). I hate it because I’d want to remove all the surface rust and make it look new – which costs more money!

I'd also want it to look like new too John -

It's a real shame the wheels are a little chewed up as they still have the original Speedline sticker on them, Obviously they will go when you have them refurbished.

Great find though -

I think what's covering the carpet are some horrendustly terrible rubber mats, hopefully those ugly things will have saved the carpets though.

This car should have been presented a little better due to it's 1 owner status and it's 9000 miles - but is that leaving the door open to someone that would want to flip it ????

Unsure whats going on with the interior carpet but looks missing? It doesn’t look like a 9k odd mile example to me?

The heater panel peeling issue is an age related problem, it has nowt to do with use or mileage. They seem to have a lifespan of about 7-8 years before they start to peel of their own accord, even on cars doing minimal mileage and kept in reasonable storage conditions.

Tbh the car has just been sat for years in storage when you check mot history.

What will be interesting is what maintenance has occurred during this period
1st job is probably going to have to be belts..

I'm looking forward to reading some of the back story to this car once the description goes live, if the seller decides to let us know of course...

Is the cup/trophy/non rs clios heater panel not grey all the way through like the climate control equipped cars? 🤔

Just pulled apart a climate control panel to get access to the PCB. Other than the stickiness, its never going to peel like that! 😬

Different manufacturing techniques. Both the Climate (acrylic (base) and metal(sport)) finishes are thru colour so plastic is all dark grey. The sport (metal) finish is applied over the top of the dark grey plastic. The standard AC controls have a white plastic panel which is then coated/painted and that that cracks with age and heat cycles. Cups/trophies use the base model plastics for all panels (door grabs, dash etc)
