Any one ID this shell from Dieppe?

[seb]

There is a thread discussing the R27R on Renaultsport.co.uk and someone who went to the Dieppe trip took a picture of this.

Now the one in the air to me looks like a Clio v6 shell mk2.

The ones on the floor look like normal 197 shells to me also.

A few are getting a bit excited thinking something is in the pipeline down there... Anyone got any ideas? To me it just looks like an old mk2 shell out in the yard. lol Nothing more nothing less.

 

[Revels]

I agree with you.

Geeks getting excited over nothing FTL.

The rear wheel arch looks too big to be a normal mk 2 shell.

It could just be a Campus or something though.

 

[Matt-16v]

Double post fail!

 

[Fred@BTM]

its a v6 shell up in the air, you can see the hole for the rear speaker on the drivers side

Vee...And i lost interest after that.

[Ali]

as i said on RS, tis a ph2 vee

Could be a mk1 vee tbh! Impossible to tell.

Not impossible at all Mk2 V up top.

R3/Cup racer shells downstairs.

its a vee shell thats for sure.

but there was DEFO stuff set in place for the R27Radical in dieppe, whether they go ahead is another matter

out of interest in the workshop they had a 197 and v6 with parts being chopped between the two (new vee?) or renault knowing theirs a factory visit and teasing people.

all the cars for the paris motorshow were being run through that day so there was a 197 on wheels never seen before/R26R's up in the air etc

truth is no1 except renault knows what they are going to do, especially with the current econoical situation

Bear in mind the mk1 can be made to look like a mk2 with the right arches and bumper...

Hence my point it 'could' be a mk1 vee chassis.

But i would say it is a ph2!

It's a Mk2 V - check the front lighting area and the hole where the Mk1 aerial would be is missing

Oh i know, but the inner wings and the lack of a hole for the ariel in the roof make it a mk2.
The 197 shells have holes for boot pins so they are destined for motorsport. (as boot pins on a road car would fail type approval)

Impressed you noticed that ya speccy geek!

mk1 v6 shell 6020013021 £10K+vat
mk2 v6 shell 6020014234 £5k+vat

 

[Christopher]

Why the huge price difference, Fred?

 

[Laura]

[-Leigh-]

Probably cos they'll have much less of them, or even have to make them?

mk1 v6 shell 6020013021 £10K+vat
mk2 v6 shell 6020014234 £5k+vat

prob works out cheaper than all these shite replicas about then

 

[Impey]

The 1 in the air is defo a V6 and the others are 197

 

[Hazza]

Am i being pedantic, or is there no such thing as a MK1 v6's?????

I thought all v6's where Mk2, just whether they are ph1 or ph2

 

[drunknmunky]

no there was never a mk1 v6, jst mk2 p1 ph2

 

[Christopher]

Yep, you're both being pedants. Ish

Both use Mk2 shell, yeah.

 

[Hazza]

Well some people may get confused and all that!

Mk1 Valver Vee.. lol...

 

[Coby.]

Just a Couple of Boring Shells is all I'm seeing.

Is Dieppe a manurfacturing or development site?
