V6 YEP spotted in Leeds

[Lankan]

Quite a few photos here: LINK

This is what the person who spotted it had to say:
"This car surprised me when i saw it, as these tend to be very rare in the UK. The Clio V6, is probably one of my all time favourite hot hatchbacks, especially since my brother also used to own a Phase I model, like this but in blue. This one i managed to capture in different locations in Leeds, going passed The Queens Hotel and near Templar Car Park. Stunning vehicle!"

:approve:

Not fair, I drive round Leeds all the time and never get spotted like that!!!! (Just a few CS spots)

Very good pictures, looks great in everyday surroundings. Do you not remember some guy chasing you with a camera lol?

In some respects the Ph1 is actually a better looking car, especially from the front!

Second that, and photographs well too.

I am not normally a fan of silvers or greys, but the Phase 1 carries it off pretty well.

Agree looks fantastic against the mundane motors and buildings

Yes I did see them, one of them had a huuuuuuge camera and was clicking away when I was sat at the lights, felt quite embarrassed because everyone was looking at me. Half an hour later I pulled into a car park because I could smell burning ( turned out it was the Chinese shop I was driving past) and guess who was in there taking photos of the cars in the car park!!!

I did a swift 18 point turn and got out of dodge.

Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough because they managed to photograph me again. :rollseyes:

Agreed, I think it looks amazing in this particular photo:

Ive asked the photographer for more info and pics of his brothers old illiad. He has said that it was stolen a while ago!

That is interesting. Did the forum/register know about this particular Illiad Phase 1 (i.e. that one was stolen)?

That video has made me feel ill with the zooming in/out.

Disappointed you didn't leave a fat number 11 outside the station as you set off

 

[Redsalive]

Just watched it. What a rubbish gear change :rofl:

 

[ColinG]

Wow those pics are amazing!

Great to be spotted like that, I'd love some moving shots of mine! Car looks stunning!

Interested to hear more of the stolen illiad too
