Just browsing over on v6clio when I saw it posted up, so I thought i'd post it on here:)

In the best colour too ! :approve: I wonder if it's counted in Renaults figures as being one of the eight Illiad mk1's ? I never knew it existed tbh.

No doubt that CS valuations say it's worth a fiver :rolleyes:
 
I didn't realise they built the mk1's in Sweden, my mate works there in automotive testing need to mention it to him!
 
Mk1 car number 0001 is silver, it was on PH the other week. This one appears to be a specially numbered one.
 
I know what you mean, mine comes out like that on a bad day.

Or I guess he has a cack camera too ?

I did ask what the reserve was on it, he said he'd not say, but the car is a good deal.
 
I beleive only the mk1 Vees were made in Sweden. TWR also built 3 prototypes all black and 1 ended up on ebay a few years back, I think the other 2 were scrapped.

yeah that car was a strange one tbh. It had a mk2 front end but twr had nothing to do with the mk2, it also had some other clio interior in it.


dave, I remember that black mk1 on there years ago, Someone on here saw it in the metal & said that the paint job on it was gash.
 
I purchased one of the development cars from them - was a silver MK1 V6 on a 2000 x plate - it didnt even have a plaque giving you the ID of the car. Bought it from a guy called Dave Appleby who purchased all the stock from TWR when they stopped making the V6. Saw all 5 of the cars at his house including a 6R4 he was building at the time

There were 5 of these cars originally - the first one ever built was based on a 1.6 16v 3dr in matt black. Dave had this in his workshop in Devon with all the paperwork / buildsheet from the TWR team from day 1 of the project. God knows were it is now. Dave appleby was one of the original designers / builders of the Metro 6R4. He stills builds them and recently built one for Colin Mcrae before he died

Our company bought quite a lot of the stock from Dave for the MK1 Clio V6.

Dont think so as TWR had nothing to do with the MK2 V6. The chassis number on the silver MK2 in the pic actually corresponds to a 1.6 16v which is a coincidence as the TWR prototype was also a 1.6 16v car. Why didnt they use a 172 as a base car ? would have made more sense ?
