Scrubs up well.

I contacted them today to see how much it's going for. They want 45k for the car. 1 owner, 30k miles.
Looks lovely to be fair. Are the seats original?

1 dodgy owner...

: )

 

[Kett]

The seats aren't original...

but if Carlsberg did V6s - that's what would have been fitted.

 

[Jamesv6]

Seats are electric Trendline Recaro
Big bore tailpipes
Shrick cams (which are good things apparently)

 

[Simondeane]

Is it worth 45k?

Is it worth 45k?

Two schools of thought out there...

1st: yes definitely, a revered UK Vee in a unique ID colour with desirable subtle modifications.

2nd: no, seems a bit pricey for special colour.

(I sit in the first camp - however I was reminded by a Professor in Ophthalmology a few days ago that 'colours do not exist'... they are simply a human interpretation of certain wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.)

Excuse my ignorance, what colours are I.d colours?

As always it's worth whatever someone will pay for it..........If you want a bronze V6 then it's this or .....um ....nothing.
As Duncan has mentioned previously there have been several sales of V6s' this year over £35k and even over £40k (lower mileage obviously).
It also depends what you are comparing it too. 1. prices 3 years ago then no it's not worth £45k but it's now not then.
2. Also what can you get for the money? All the latest mags have group tests of the TT RS and 4 cylinder Cayman and are remarking how mad the prices now are. The TT as tested was £69k !! and the Cayman S was £48k basic plus extras totalling £67k for something with a droning 4 cylinder sewing machine engine which has been roundly criticised, so it's all relative. (and yes I know they are new (which also means they will depreciate to half price in 5 years time ) but you get my drift )

Took a while to get my sawdust off it.

Indeed James - still looking good though........feeling nostalgic?

Would love those Schrick cams in mine.........

I can't understand why someone would pay MUCH more for a rare or unique colour... The car ir rare enough already.

Is it beacause you really like the colour or you want to show off even more that you have the rarest of the rarest Clio?

I'm sure if they had made 50 Illiad Blues and 50 of these black-brownie ones (I've actually been in front of this one), 90% of people would go for the blue ones. I've received good compliments about mine lots of times and most of them point out how nice the colour is, so no wonder why blue is the most common and was chosen by Renault for most of the marketing.
