It's not rare at all. There's loads of them.

Search for Monaco Blue in the Media section and you'll find a lot.

As per Revel's link, 468 Renault UK registered Monaco Blues, plus parallel imports and some non-RSs came in it as well.

Monaco Blue also dates back to the mk1 IIRC, and the shades vary some what.

Quite a few on here. There is also a thread of them numbered to see how many on here, can't remember where, think it's in this section of the forum.

Petrol Blue & Liquid Yellow 182s and Sunflower Yellow ph1 172s are rare.

Lovely colour!

I had a Monaco Blue 1.6 Si, which I bought brand new in 1999. It's a lovely colour.

Lol. I keep forgetting about people will small displays. Doesn't even fill mine when I expand it.

2560x1440 FTW!

To be fair, I don't see many Monaco Blue 172s about, it's not as common as black and silver.

 

[P17 TOO]

Monaco is the colour that the least UK registered Ph2 172's were made in but would you really class 468 as rare??

Isn't that Odyssey?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Aye on non-RS it's odyssey blue, petrol blue is the rarest blue IIRC.

Lovely colour!

awesome example here

 

[TimR26]

Here's my Monaco, I'd class it as rare colour as apart from at CS meets I've only seen two on the road.

 

[ant_r27]

My favourite PH2 172 colour if I'm being honest!

They are kinda rare compared to silver and black I guess.


As for Petrol blue, seen a few of those out and about, and think they look pretty poo IMO.

Am i right in thinking they cost the full £1200 as an extra through the Renault Id thingy?

 

[arnison 172]

thanks for the replies, guess there just a little bit rare then lol, 468 isnt that many though in my eys but ah well, thanks for all the info guys, helped alot.

 

[alanc1000]
