£60k .

 

[Matthew]

Car for a collector but f**k paying £60k for a Clio of any description.

 

[imprezaworks]

Someone buy it 100%

 

[GiT]

£60k! Frig me.

 

[JamesBryan]

That's not far from me actually.

Haven't got £60k though, if i did it'd be an R34 GTR instead tbh.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I wonder if that half a tank of petrol is 13 years old ?

 

[Short Norman]

60K for a garage ornament

 

[eon172]

Crazy, there are much better cars to be had for less #dreaming

 

[MRBILLYUK]

60K for a garage ornament

Basically doubled his money in 13 years . Not really an investement for any potential new owner as it's gone way past its ceiling price.

 

[Daz.]

Them seats though - so fresh!

If you had the money, were a collector and liked eccentric stuff you'd buy it - you're not going to lose money on it.

 

[imprezaworks]

For sure.

Pocket money to some people. Cost just wouldn’t even be an issue

 

[Waitey]

If he gets that, thats a nice 7% a year increase on his dolla. Better than the bank.

 

[RIC172]

If they’re charging £60k it would have been nice of them to get the 13 year old cambelt changed first

 

[Rich..]

What a waste, I hate seeing cars like this with no mileage on them, it should be driven and enjoyed, it’s a car not a feckin ornament

 

[Knuckles]

Local to me. If anyone wants me to go view it for them let me know ?

 

[RMDavis]

I bet it's still got the 13 year old Michelin's fitted to it...

Not a problem however, as I'm sure whoever buys it won't drive it either. Shame really ?

Engine out job ain't it?

 

[RIC172]

Engine out job ain't it?

I think it can be done in situ but it's tight! Much easier to drop the engine. Pricey job though so I would want that changed if I was buying it (need an extra £60k first though)

 

[leeds_182]

I doubt if you’re spending 60k on a Clio that a cambelt and some new wheels will be a big problem.

It’s a one off motor really. I honestly don’t think it’s hit it’s ceiling either, I reckon these could hit 100k in a few more years.

Totally agree. When will a car like that ever be built again....never.

[RIC172]

Judging by how things are heading, I wouldn’t be surprised if cars like this will be outlawed in 5-10 years due to high emissions. Then it’ll be worth peanuts!

They probably said the same thing 30 years ago

Porsche continue to build & market highly modified VW Beetles.

Cars should be driven, not stored in a room with a vacuum tent.

They did, but back then we didn’t have the technology to back it up. Now there are low or zero emission alternatives, so high emitting cars like this are seen as the enemy. While we have brexited, we still seem to have latched on to tight EU laws on emissions.

Unfortunately the Clio V6 is still too new for classic car status too, so it might not be given the same allowances. Lovely car don’t get me wrong, but it might not be the investment people think it is.

After to some extent but these are special limited edition collector cars. They’re cars that are investments and not viewed as a mode of transport. You can get sentimental about it or you can revel in the fact that you’ve doubled your money.

 

[GrahamS]

I would happily buy a car and not drive it, even considered it not to long ago for a ph1 v6. Garage genuinely wasn’t wide enough to take one! An investment is an investment.

Except 20 years in a garage, kept in pristine condition will see a huge value increase.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

For £60k i'd want something sub 300 miles really

 

[Darren61]

Minty Fresh interior but my god that steering wheel looks ridiculous!

 

[cat171]

 

[chris blue]

some people have money to buuuuuuuurn

 

[brohoward71]

Surprise surprise it sold.
Obvious really. Lets just imagine you won the euro lottery last week you wouldnt think twice about buying it.
There are A LOT of people with enough disposable income to consider this peanuts. And if those people are petrol heads of course they will buy this.
Hell if it was me with that sort of cash lying around i would buy it have it refreshed and drive the nuts off it without evwn considering the miles

Why wouldn't you just buy a maintained one with a few more miles on, in a good colour?

 

[cat171]

Collectors / what some might refer to as crazy folk want sub 1000 mile cars that are basically new.

 

[Short Norman]

Ideal for someone like this

I’m sure the full asking price wasn’t paid though.

I really doubt that tbh and it still wouldn’t be worth peanuts if so, do you really think the new owner of this is going to drive it lol?

No I don’t think they’re likely do drive it, but it has value because it is still road legal.

In the future, who’s going to be interested in a driver’s car that you can’t drive?

I do think the classic car bubble will burst and cars like this will drop hugely in value. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Have you been to classic car shows?

 

[Short Norman]

I went to a sports car show last year and there was a La Ferrari there with something daft like 68 miles on it.
