The first clio v6 prototype road version august 1998 in time for paris motor show.

 

[Zonda]

Soz.. typo... got it in 2003 and sold it in 2005 only a few years out.. (mixed up with other cars I was thinking of)

 

[j6 pkp]

i was just about to say that, must of been a pre pre pre production prototype! lol

 

[Zonda]

I made a few changes after that pic... should have left it as it was.. but rear end saw most of the changes.. other bits ..KW coilovers... Carbon induction kit ..not much else

Did you enjoy owning a clio v6 mk1??

 

[j6 pkp]

^^ beautiful!! full ph2 rear end?

 

[Zonda]

^^ beautiful!! full ph2 rear end?

Yes... I bought it new... so everything was standard... then the MK2 came out! so I put the MK2 rear lights....roof spoiler... and colour coded to boot lock.. Hayward and Scott exhaust.. went to Superchips headquarters and had them chip it... (waste of time..lol) think I spent about £5k doing it up....then after that...I bought Nitrous for it!! lol.. and realised I was getting silly and it was time to move on.

Yes... when I 1st got it... it was like owning something from another planet... nobody knew what the hell it was ...great fun.

 

[Zonda]

Went up to Superchips in the worst weather I had ever driven in... mud thrown up by Lorries blinding the hell outa me...all the waya there on the motorway.. the car was coated in mud when I got there... doesnt look that bad in the pic tho... but was a few layers of road s**t on there..

I bought it from a collector.. was really lucky...it still had the clear wrapping from the factory on the seats! It had something like 150 miles on it.. so was just like new really.. he wanted to make more room for other toys and his misses told him he had to get rid of some of his other stuff 1st. It was a 2002 car....52 reg... and i got it in 03.

I'm getting lost here, must be my age (but previously you said new in 2003)
So you didn't get it brand new then & you were the second owner??
End of production was 2002 mk1

Picture looks lovely. I am rather old I have got very lost, you said it wasn't registered but previous you said it was registered in 02 (52 plate)
So I can't get my head around how you had it new in 2003??

If its never been registered with DVLA (and driven round on trade plates) then when it first gets registered is probably when 'Zonda' registered it.

There is a 2005/2006 MK4 Cortina doing the rounds as it was kept in the Ford showroom for best part of 20 years without being registered.

 

[Mikey]

1st pic is awesome!

 

[Psalm23_(UK)]

I dont care about the dates. Just show more pics, if you got 'em! Pure sex.

Read the thread properly, the car had a 52 plate, so therefore was registered in 2002 and not 2003:rasp:

Lovely rear end mate

 

[DebV6]

That's gorgeous! Looks very well cared for.

Hi wayne... 52 reg is up to March 2003.

Cheers for the comments guys... I love that 1st pic too... the lighting really makes it look wide and archy

That is the best pic of it I have...if I have any other ones that look cool I'll pop them up....but i knew a few peeps would like see'ing the 1st pic and why I posted it up

Thanks

 

[Ian_182]

Suprising how many cars end up not registered.Over on the ford websites there are a good few with escort cossies on later plates

I have a few more u might like ...

I had only changed the rear lights at this stage.. the boot latch needed colour coding... stood out too much in black..

Then this happened..

before the bumper was chopped but with the bigger 2 smoking barrels fitted (I bought a spare rear bumper to butcher for this job! This original one was kept safely out the way! lol)

Nice low side pic..

 

[Leeshez]

Great car

 

[Tigger]

Amazing motor!

 

[Millsy]
