Ive seen it, wonder why he used a 1.2 is that an insurance dodge?

Surely you can buy a straight R26 for less money?? Am I missing something?

Personally my gut feeling would be that it came about the following way, but obviously im sure the seller will disagree, and im not accusing anyone here just saying what seems likely.

Rob a 197
Rob an R26

Build car from them

Buy 1.2 thats written off for peanuts, and stick the numbers on it.

It would be a megane not a clio?

His ad says still booked as a 1.2 so I'd say defo an insurance dodge, would be very worrying driving it insured like that, get stop checked you'd be screwed, have an accident even more screwed.

Wow you're a cynical bunch. LOL

If the guy works at a breakers/salvage yard, sounds like he used parts from cars that came in.
I think anything that's been scrapped/written off wouldn't be allowed back on the road, so by using the plates of the 1.2, he's got what was probably a write off (197 shell) on the road with running gear from a written off 225.

Written off 225 comes in the yard, he takes running gear

Written off 197 comes in the yard, but the shell is usable so he adds 225 running gear

Buys 1.2 and uses plates/I.D to get 197 on the road and uses 1.2 shell with 197 I.D at weigh in

Either way, not a great prospect for most buyers, but to someone not fussed it could be worth a punt.

Just a theory.

Or he used the 1.2 shell with 197 body kit and 225 running gear etc....

Just a thought but the 1.2 and 197 have the same shell ;)
