2003 Phase 2 LHD Lutecia #0318 for sale in the UK - £42,995...

[Lankan]

...at Distinto Classics: Renault Clio 3.0 V6 255 Phase 2 / Recaro / LHD

[v6plaque]0318[/v6plaque] doesn't seem to be in the register...

38,500 miles with gaps between services and no mention in the advert of when cambelt changes were done, but it does state that service records are available.

"The car has always been regularly maintained with service records and is presented in fantastic condition along with much desired subtle improvements such as Quaife Differential, Exhaust System and Recaro Seats. All original items are provided with the car."

How well have Jap-sourced Vees sold in the UK, especially if they are LHD?

What is the odd silver thing above the boot tray?

I'd guess at a battery disconnect? Seems odd they've taken the time to specifically photograph it and not mentioned it.

The lutecia's have a 3rd plaque style, a bit like how our UK cars have a unique one.

There isnt really a proper space for them in the register, so whilst I keep a list of them, I haven't added them in full. There will also be [v6plaque]318[/v6plaque] UK and [v6plaque]318[/v6plaque] non UK, so it gets a bit confusing.

Has loads of little modfications, not un common on the Japanese cars. I noticed it had phase 1 rear bumper style mesh in it too. Looks to be a phase 2 bumper still. I also noticed the front diamond badge is filled in!

What is the odd silver thing above the boot tray?

Looks to be connected to the batter and the earth, so a kill switch I guess.

It doesn't appear to of been clocked, which can be common for Jap imports.

Here is the auction sheet and photos from when it it sold in Japan August 2020:
