"The" Glacier White R27

[fUbAr]

the 500th R27 off the production line was produced in Clacier White. It was specially built in white after a customer approached renault and asked if they would produce the 1 off car in memory of a Ranault enthusiast family member who had recently died.

Thumbs up Renault, most manufacturers wouldn't care!

perfect combo IMO... R27 and white!

Fair play to them for that.

That will mean a lot to the Family.

Very good of Renault, as above most manufacturers wouldn't bother. I hope the car is used as Will would of intended.

[Josh@Renparts]

can imagine it will be worth a lot of money in the future with all the documentation of why it was produced.

[Josh@Renparts]

yeh i would have thought that with it been a commemoration to someone. do you know if the car is going to be a daily drive? or to be kept for occasional use?

You should keep it in the showroom on display and only take it out for trackdays and shows. And of course when I come by.

probably not so much as a daily drive,but it will be showed and tracked with a vengance,and also earn its living as support to some venues for the air ambulance,to help raise funds.

nice gesture, good stuff renault

Good to hear it will be getting some good hard use, no point preserving a car for any perceived value one day imo, far better to enjoy it whenever you can...which to be fair sounds exactly like why this was all organised/ what is made for in the first place.

​So it went up for sale then?

 

[MikeLYR27]

Jimbo sold it ages ago mate.

 

[jimbo666]

I did unfortunately. For various reasons it had to go. How's your mate getting on with it now?

 

[DrR]

My mate who bought this might finally be selling it, reckon it’s a good one to buy as a future classic?

Whats the miles, details.
Being the only one, is quite cool.

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

Interesting car. Not sure if it would be worth much more.

R27 has not really went up in value.

But there is only one!

Guess condition , history and mileage would be other additive factors.

 

[DrR]

I think the gearbox need replacing, has the 3rd gear crunch, so that would need doing and the seats are worn. He’s been using it has is daily car for last 8 odd years he’s had it.

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

I remember owning a white r26 and the wife had a white 197 cup.

Back then I probably would have paid a premium for it.

I even had the norev white r26 and r27 model set. So assume the white r27 was available in other countries.

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

Miles?

Sounds like it needs one of those talented bods on here to buy it cheap and do full resto on it.

 

[R-Sport.]

The original owners mum bought a Monaco 172 off me
I think the owner was Jimbo or something on here.
He drove it over when they picked it up.
I think he listed it at £9k when other R27s were selling for ~6-7k
