The hunt for the missing Vees

[EdV6220]

Hi All

I'm working on a 2013 calendar project on behalf of V6Clio.net, my utlimate aim is to get some great pictures of every colour of Vee. As some of you may know this would include the rareties that are the 2 Inferno Orange and 1 Moonlight Blue Vees that are believed to exist in the UK. Unfortunately, none of the owners are members of the club so their current location is a bit of a mystery. We do however think that one of the Infernos is in the Bristol area and the Moonlight Blue in the Cheltenham area (this all sounds a bit like Indiana Jones lol ).

Anyway, if any of you manage to spot said vehicles (or know the owners) then I'd be really grateful for your help. Ideally, this would involve obtaining email addresses or, alternatively, putting a quick note under the wipers or something.

I'll try and sort out a free calendar for anyone that provides a successful lead

Here's some pics to show you what we're after:

An Inferno

A Moonlight

Thanks in advance for any help guys

 

[The Boosh!]

Good luck!

 

[Revels]

The hardest part won't be tracking them down, it'll be getting pictures to be printed!

Good luck.

Thanks for taking this calendar project on Ed, it has been long overdue.

Good luck with the search on them 2 colours

 

[Knuckles]

Lol thatll be difficult... watch national treasure for some inspiration

[Dan@M.A.D]

If you know the numberplate then someone may be able to find there address.

The inferno vee looks amazing. I don't really like inferno on 182's but it looks mint on that vee.

Lord Harvey on Here owns the inferno Vee-

he was planning to sell it this year - offers around 19k

That moonlight colour is terrible, reaallly dull!!!

inferno looks "ok" but not as good as you would expect it to look...

best of luck with the search ed! would be great to have a mass photo of mk1's and 2's in every colour made (in the UK anyways)

 

[_Tom]

Yep Lord Harvey had/has one in the Bristol area. Tis mighty fine.

i was thinking this too :dapprove:

 

[EdV6220]

i was thinking this too :dapprove:

In all fairness, that probably explains why only 3 of both colours were sold in the whole of the UK.

 

[Scrooge]

I like the moonlight blue.

 

[theduck]

Remember some colours where in excess of £1000 options on an already very expensive Clio, which could explain rareity.

 

[welshname]

Get me an inferno Vee...NOW!

According to this, both were standard options:

I always thought Inferno was an optional extra?

 

[Jonny1*2]

Not really suprised by the inferno being a standard option, but the moonlight one is a bit random. Was it an option on other ranges? I've never seen one in Deep Bronze though

Only one here and it belongs to Dash, lovely car.

Deep Brinze is simply stunning, a bit of a hidden gem:

 

[MartinR]

i want a deep bronze vee

 

[CabinFever]

Doesn't the Moonlight Blue Vee belong to someone at RUK (Sally?)

 

[couzens]

I see a Petrol Blue option. any pics or any sold in UK? love that colour

 

[Joe#]

Never seen the inferno before

 

[Beef-Mc]

I see a Petrol Blue option. any pics or any sold in UK? love that colour

According to this, there wasn't, http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage/cliov6/

Shame as I think it would look pretty good on a V6.

 

[couzens]

massive shame

 

[EdV6220]

I believe a few Petrol Blue Vees were sold on the continent

 

[Chili Red]

Wow, I didn't know Petrol Blue was available on the Vee, never seen one. Not sure about Moonlight Blue, as with a lot of the colours, it would need bright sunlight to really show it off.

I love the deep bronze, isn't Dash's the only one in the UK?

 

[AK]

Any pics of all the Renault I.d paints?

 

[ColinG]

Deep bronze is stunning and looks totally different in the flesh!

Acid Yellow...

As with most of the interesting colours, it looks completely different depending on the light.

 

[Gally]

I think moonlight looks like it would be immense to detail!

Love the history!

We'll get some cracking pics together this summer Ed for the calendar. Love inferno and always thought it was an ID option too.
