How many Flame Red Mk1 172's did Renault make?

[Fletcher]

As above, spotted one for sale at Simpkins Renault Chandlers Ford with Isle of mann plates, she looked lovely.

its the rarest colour iirc... rarer than the limited edition 172 exclusive ironically! lol

They made 60 for this country and I know of 4 that have been written off.

Theres one down my road, and they happened to buy it from the dealers where I work! It looks lovely, my fave 172 colour

 

[Fletcher]

Well it thought they must be rare, as i've not ever seen one on the road they want £5600 for it though.

It must be on very low mileage.

It's done 35,000 miles so not really, but good for it's age.

theres a flame red 172 which ive seen a fair bit in the weston area in southampton which a lady drives it.

ever seen one in bright sunshine?...probably not..but seriously
they look very pink / rose ish...metallic just doesnt work on a red car,thats why nobody else really bothers with it....birds colour without doubt...
the black pearl is a lovely colour on the mk1...far better than the black / gold metallic on the mk2 & 182
check out my old pearl mk1

have u ever seen black gold in the sun? 10x nicer than pearl black. I had pearl black on my 1.2 dynamique (the same one as on the m1 172's) and nowhere near as much flake, and the flake itself wasnt as nice a colour

 

[son of solo]

i didnt like it ...beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say...personally i think the flame red is a pretty pis* poor colour....and looks pink in bright sunshine...i regret nothing

 

[Fletcher]

Well i cannot comment on what the car looked like in bright sunshine, because it was a overcast day and parked in a showroom. But like i said earlier she looked good to me.

 

[shaun_cliosport]

saw another flame red 51 reg 172 pass me on the m27 this evening aswell so thats 2 ive seen myself in the southampton area now

 

[Fletcher]

^^^I've gone off them now, they are getting too common lol.

 

[shaun_cliosport]

[182chic]
