Valver Production figures

[Scott]

Aup, i was just wonderin how many of the 1.8 16v clios were actually sold in the UK, it is very rare that i see another one when drivin mine, cheers

 

[Lagerlout]

Less than the total number of Williams....

You sure?

 

[JAY172]

we sold a lot more valvers than williams so sounds debatable that

 

[big hp]

400 williams 1

480 williams 2

308 williams 3

Go do the maths.

 

[aaronc]

For every 8 Ford Escorts that was made, it was probably equal to 1 valver.

whats that got to do with the price of chips? lol

 

[Ben H]

Probably about 5,000 or so over the 5 years it was on sale from 1991 to early 1996.

 

[Scott]

Anymore ideas anyone???

 

[Jase16v]

Ive been trying to find this out for ages now with no luck...

Good look on finding out matey

 

[Scott]

Yeah so have i, cant seem to find the official figures anywhere..

 

[cat171]

renault probably dont even know themselves.

 

[Scott]

lol, maybe...........

 

[JJ!]

Also be intersted to see how many of each colour they did!!!

 

[Tom]

Ask the smmt they know.

Thats what we want Justy!

 

[Scott]

Yeah that would also be good, mines Naples Red, havent seen too many that colour, what others did they do??? Apart from williams blue, black, white n bright red??

 

[Jase16v]

Few silver ones about, the odd green one... Other than that not sure, oh and some grey ones iirc

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Ive only seen 3 valvers in 12 months (shows excluded) and I;m sure one was the same car as before.

I see Williamss far more often.

But I would be really intrigued to know how many were sold.

 

[Scott]

im gonna keep searchin but i avnt had any luck as yet....

 

[dannyboy]

would alsobe interesting to see how many of each are still registered as being on the road now

 

[Jase16v]

Well theres the challange then! Who will find out first? Answers on a postcard to:

How many f*ckin Valvers was there

Cliosport

England

 

[Scott]

just emailed renault to see if they can supply me with some figures of total produced, total sold in UK, and total of each colour, will see if they come up with any answers....

 

[Daz.]

Id really like to know too, whod have thought the valver might become rarer than the willy!

 

[White16valver]

And now theyre all modified... LOL

Surely we should be jumping up and down at each other for being so foolish? lol

 

[Scott]

lol, mines fairly standard still, only lowered n magnex s/s exhaust..

 

[Daz.]

I could make mine standard again in about an hour - Id called that about as standard as your gonna get!

 

[Scott]

No luck from Renault themselves!

Not all

Mines still as standard as the day it came from the factory

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Typical helpful Renault there. Useless wasters. What they meant by that letter was "weve just got some doughnuts and coffee in and cant be fvcked finding out for you how many of those old sh*tters we sold."

 

[mr_merc]

Im on the phone to them at the moment........

Thats a bit of a snobbish remark, i dont think their all old sh!tters, or are you saying thats what they would think?!?

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

That what they would think. I own one so I wouldnt think that!

Only the more helpful manufacturers that are reknowned for customer service would give a toss about some nerds asking about cars they made in the previous decade.

 

[mr_merc]

Well, I found them very helpful actually.

The lady I spoke to has taken my number and what the question was, having spoken to her boss and he said he couldnt get that from the system but theyre ringing another department to find an answer.

Whether they get back to me or not I dont know, but they seemed reasonable and genuine enough.

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Any luck?

 

[Jase16v]

Talk about being kept in suspence!

 

[Scott]

i didnt manage to find anything remotely helpful after loads of searchin, dunno if they ever got back to mr_merc or not....

 

[mr_merc]

I was told that theyd get back to me in the next week, so Ill wait and see. If not, I have a customer reference and phone number Ill be calling back

 

[cat171]

i heard that of those produced only 10% ish have leather & considering at was a £1000 option im not surprised.

does any one have a standard one with it ?
mine is, apart from 195 tyres (the previous owner fitted them & i have just replaced them) and a willy gear knob (i do still have the original black one though)

they do seem to be quite rare, i only wish that was reflected in their re-sale value !
