Number 1/26 From Switzerland ended up at auction in Japan!

 

[E11OOT]

She has made it to port in Yokohama.

That is amazing. Not cheap i’ll bet!

Shame that the roof lining has sagged, is that a common issue????

Yeah i've read about that a few times and even more so with humidity etc, possibly storage and transport haven't helped.

Yeah it's pretty common but a relatively quick cheap repair to replace the headliner material.

Found these on an auction site in Japan for next to nothing. They are the same design at the Clio V6 Trophy wheels (forged aluminum not magnesium), these are 17x7 with normal offsets. The goal is to refinish them in a dark grey and put them on the 197 F1.

R26R is now in Canada and being prepared for inspection!

The "R25" F1 Edition has now been put up for sale:

The 197 F1 is having a new exhaust manifold and dog bone mount installed, dropping the front subframe wasn't too bad (id recommend unbolting the steering rack from the subframe)

The Clio 182 has enjoyed some time out in the mountains with it's other Euro friends in Canada.....

It is currently 1 of 2 in Canada. There is a chap that imported a black one from France that lives out on the west coast.

Amazing, the roads i’ll bet are well suited to them, i would love one👏🏼👏🏼

Got the yellow R27 all buttoned back up and have been enjoying it lots. Have a cup spoiler at the painters so hopefully install that this weekend which will finish off the look, wheels need to be re-finished and that is also on the list!

 

[E11OOT]

Also have got the V6 out of storage and given it a once over before heading out to the mountains for some fun!

 

[Poopensharten]

You must have loads of folk asking what the f**k these cars are lol?

Lots of confused people when I drive them around. People really like the 197.

 

[Gally]

Not usually a fan of any modded v6s but yours looks great. Love a 197. Especially LY. The colour alone is a talking point!

Jealous of your cars but moreover that you are by the Trans Canada Highway.

Have you been to Jasper?

Been to Jasper quite a few times and pass through the Columbia Icefield on the way there which is always amazing.

Unfortunately an out of control wild fire is destroying Jasper currently, so bad times up that way!

No way. I was there in May and loved it.

Having driven thousands of miles in Canada over the years in pretty mundane rental cars - having the keys pretty much to any car in this thread must be epic.

Fair play to you @E11OOT - living the dream right there!

 

[E11OOT]

The Alfa doesn't get much air time or time on the road. Sitting on some new B16 coilovers with only 12,250 miles on the clock still.

 

[Gally]

Still a great looking car!

Love a GTA! Make such a good noise
