[Chris_Beer]

The misses was surprised to see a few LY pop up and the one on Auto Trader was in Plymouth! Checked it out and thought I recognised the reg.. Soon as I googled the reg I lol'd


Two previous owners... both cup packs... what the hell is wrong with the people who have owned this car !?

Real shame as have sat nav and looks good in places.. what is the black box in the left side of the boot ?

 

[Chris_Beer]

Just checked.. This is the only LY with sat nav from factory...


shame!

Two previous owners... both cup packs...

Plus full size spare wheel... I wonder where that is? lol.

If this was more like 2k, I'd buy it.

 

[Chris_Beer]

I would seriously love to ask him where the spare wheel is!

It's probably not even in Plymouth, I've never seen it around?!

 

[Rick_182]

Shame really. Looks like a very tidy car!

 

[icebergclio]

just googled the reg and had a chuckle to myself lol

 

[Knuckles]

VOSA FFS


lol

 

[Chris_Beer]

^ LOL

Yes ! Jinxed reg from day 1

 

[Diagro]

If the engine has been corrected (although i doubt it) and the other issues sorted its a nice car.

price is a bit much

 

[DanF]

2 owners?

Theres been more that that just on this thread.

 

[LiamR172]

Iirc theres nothing actually wrong with the car now is there? Its just the history... And price.

A private plate and you're sorted

 

[BoatNonce]

I've just realised it's in Plymouth now!

 

[MarcB]

I've just realised it's in Plymouth now!

Its been about as it was in Edinburgh as spotted before.

 

[BoatNonce]

Passed around like a cheap hooker IIRC.

 

[Ryanj]

Without a doubt THE most famous clio on the net!

That one doesn't have the factory fitted sat nav whereas FFZ does!

Oh yes, thought i'd check!

 

[BoatNonce]

Out of interest, why? You're the second person I've seen who thought that that was FFZ.

AFAIK the real one's still in Plymouth.

I had forgotten about the Sat Nav however seeing as this is also really low mileage, with the plates covered up I thought it'd be a good idea to check just in case.

 

[scotty10]

Is this car on autotrader just now ?

 

[Dan...]

Is this car on autotrader just now ?

Looks like it yeah

 

[scotty10]

It does its rounds !

 

[BoatNonce]

Really tempted to offer 50p for it.

It's worth around 2k I'd say.

 

[ADS_V6]

where on autotrader couldnt find it

cheers

 

[thedjse]

Just read the full thread brilliant read AWFUL car!!! Needs buying for £2k sometihng doing with the engine and clutch then abusing on a track lol

 

[Ethan1996]

Has it got the proper engine in it yet and the clutch stuff removed? Wonder if the current owner selling on autotrader knows!

 

[MarcB]

This car has had a fair amount of owners now.

Its been all over the UK

 

[Knuckles]

It's not the engine that's the problem tbh.

Its the lying dealers and obscene price.

I'd happily have it for around £2k

 

[Willo40]

Looks like its been removed?

Willo

 

[smac4494]

VERY unlucky I'd say. Sadly I have done a phase 1 to phase 2 conversion (although I notified the next owner). Some slightly less trustworthy repair shops and dealerships will sell you modified front end parts to accommodate the newer headlights, wings and hood. An easy way to check is if the bumper undertray is in the correct position and if the ABS, ESP and traction control systems (or lack of) match the specs of the car identified by the VIN.

 

[Marcos999]

No longer on Autotrader, has it been bought?

 

[roystinho]

Think someone on the Renaultsport forum posted up that they have bought this. I've directed them to this thread

 

[Tony Hunter]

Here we go again

 

[GiT]

Fingers crossed it's getting stripped for the track as we speak

 

[BoatNonce]

Fingers crossed it's getting stripped for the track as we speak

Why? The condition of the rest of it, and the fact that it's the only one with nav, are the best things about it?

Stripping it out just leaves you with a shed TBH.

 

[GiT]

Because it can get binned at Brands - Crushed and we'll never hear of it again lol
