Clio RenaultSport 172 :rasp: 172 Exclusives 'imported' into the UK ;) lol

Renault Sport 172 ;)

Just a little update to the where abouts and fortunes of the little Odyssey... I'm delighted to tell you, that all running issues seem to have been resolved, as we drove it down to Linas-Montlhery 2 weeks ago for a v6 and Renault Sport track day. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! AND, we drove it...

No problem mate, fully understand. You can always re register and join an events group for prompts, just incase you slip my mind :/ The old fella wasn't there unfortunately. Give him a shout for a chat, I'm sure he'd be pleased to hear from you!

It wasn't a long planned thing Craig. Will try and remember to tell you about local meets etc in future. You could always keep a check yourself though bud, it's not all old duffers on our little forum ;)

I'd live another mk1 XR2. Black or Silver again for me I think :) The black one I had before was a bit of a nail tbh, but the silver one was nice! :) Did you notice the decal missing from the rear quarter panel?

I don't know a great deal about those wheels to be honest. But as far as I can tell, they seem to have been little more than a design proposal to the earliest of cars photographed. That particular car you're thinking of even had flush fitting side pods, used in early development cars.

Hey Colin, yes.. very much so. There are pics floating about somewhere of ph2 cars at TWR before development was completed by Renault Sport. :)

Its an early ph2 development car, registered in 2002. The sport grill was probably still being designed or pending production even.

Sorry bud.. but they're 18". They just look smaller! ;) As mentioned, prototype wheels used at TWR to gauge the most suitable wheel size/off set etc, rather than for the style of them. Being split rims, it becomes easier to switch rims rather than try to find or manufacture too many different...

You ought to be joining us in France a before tucking it away again Duncan! ;) Looks lovely!! :)

I cant help but wonder if this was the one for sale earlier in the year for about £20. Thats the closest Acid I know of to Guildford.. Nice spot!! Love Acid yellow :approve:

Looking forward to seeing your car sometime Scott. Y163 ATR is not on RUK system, so is likely to be an import as advertised.

A sign of recognition perhaps, that good ph1 172's are becoming sought after..? ;) Looks like my 2 have just gone up in price lol

As far as I'm aware, the Exclusive wasn't limited to the UK only, but numbers to the UK were limited to 172.

Nice looking example.. Shame someone's taken theExclusive specific floor mats out. Typical (but not all) dealer thing to do. Being an import, I wonder what.. if any, sill covers it has.

This... Looks to be a great buy Ryan..!

Agreed! :clap:

Looks fantastic Craig! Probably the only visual mods I'd do to a ph1. Keep the lights and spoiler... It helps define its identity.. those original design touches. Perfect :)

Great rescue Mrs..! Good to see you posting again :approve:

Was there a very limited selection to choose from?? ;) Do like a Nimbus mk3 :)

Thats the place lol.. You know where to look if you're interested bud. :)

I had the same last year. Car gets garaged now so not so relevant. Apparently, there's a drain bung forward of the bulk head, low down into the engine bay that releases water from under the wiper panel. Not looked for it yet, but that's my line of investigation when I get a few spare mins or it...

Same venue, set up as last years trip ;) You must have seen the pics for that :) Open pits, famous banked circuit, well attended by b6 members across Europe, Saturday and Sunday, plus the fun drive down with 10+ other v6's and a couple of other RS Clios over 4 days, plus static show and more! :)

Thought you'd be all over our French trip in a couple of weeks, with your Vee now back in service Fred!?

Thats a fact right there.. :)

Re: My PH1 172 Bloomin lovely Scott.

There, that's better ;) As mentioned a few times before in this thread, 'best' is hugely subjective. For me, and I know I'm biased.. or is it just my opinion and I've acted upon it? Either way.. for me the ph2 v6 I'd right up there. If you believe that once the accounts book was closed on the...

Should've guessed! :rasp:

I didnt see you.. where were you mate.? :)
