I saw this car today, in Kidlington. Actually, this used to be my car! I had to sell it fast to make space for something better...
I'm amazed that the dealer could sell it for £7k! I had it on pistonheads for two weeks back in april at £6000 and had very little interest.
For what it it's worth, I always took very good care of it. it was overall in tip top form (serviced/checked every 6000 miles or so at RenTech in Portsmouth). With it I did many trackdays around the UK and a renaultsport one at SPA a few years back. Also, some spirited driving on alpine roads every summer.
If the new owner is on this forum, I'd love to know more about it.
