I think they were around the £16k mark brand spanker but Im not sure. LY is only R27s though so they'll fetch a higher price however You would easily get a ff 197 from a dealer for that price if you go through www.renaulsport.co.uk forums. Speak to David Cooper IIRC from warrington arnold clarke...
No I didn't pay list price for mine but even now with the price I've paid if I was to sell it on I have lost atleast £3k in 7 months. Thats a huge loss even though I paid less than list when I bought the car.
