I made the four hour drive down to Retro Rides Gathering at Shelsey Walsh last weekend, was definitely worth the trip. Managed to get my car on the Turbo Renault stand alongside some very nice motors, and I did a little bit of Phase 1 spotting in the car park. I took a couple of photos with my decent camera, so if any of the owners want the full resolution picture they're more than welcome to message me!

Thanks! I'd be interested to know how many were made in that spec but cant find much that is official. I've been told it must be one of a handful left in goodwood green with a manual gearbox.
Yeah cant be many at all, ph1 initiales were rare anyway, never mind in manual and that's before you get to the colour!

My E34 needs to sell so I can get some funds to paint my Ph1 and get it finished. Then will be worthy of another post in here. But do I just get it painted titanium or change it to Odyssey?
Seats being fitted next month then need to organise a wheel refurb too.

haha no rush pal!

he owned it from a few months old I'm sure and it always had a sunroof in the time he had it, I assume either the first owner or the dealer had some aftermarket thing carried out
