Is this the highest a Phase 2 has sold for at auction? YES it is!

[Lankan]

Sold for: $99,750

VIN: VF1C61U0628879740

"Registered in Saudi Arabia

Superbly presented Phase 2 V6 Clio with only 21,206km."

"The Phase 2 cars were built by the Renault Sport division and limited to 500 examples." Hmmmm.....they should have sought [mention=1292,#2b2b2b]Duncan[/mention]'s advice.

That's a world record full stop! Beat the low mileage LY on collecting cars at hammer price (at current exchange rate) plus higher fees!

Im not sure what the local tax is in Saudi, but with the 12.5% fee alone it comes out over £84k.

I wonder if It was bought by a Saudi collector or maybe heading for Europe or America.

Amazing!

I thought this might be the one, but since it was an Iliad, I erred on the side of caution. The topic title has now been amended..

VAT rate has increased from 0% to 15% recently. It has come as a bit of a shock to the locals but I can't say I feel sorry for them!
