Renault Japan ordered all official imports in LHD for the cachet reason as above. They could of have LHD or RHD, but LHD is what their customers would want a French sports car to be and is what would sell better. The Lutecia's phase 1s have different badges and different (unnumbered) plaques...

It’s not. Similar Reg plate, different car. Dans old one is V6YAY.

It’s probably the one that Millennium Hereos recently sold for ~8k. It was on circa 13k miles and unmodified. Lovely looking thing.

That's a right result on the sunstrip! Great to see the original!

Wow! Fantastic purchase. Looks great. Congrats!

There’s also another LY v6 in the UK on 798 Miles!

Brilliant stuff Mark, your in for alot of fun! Brands in that will be fantastic! The bumper is actually 2 piece on the trophy cars, the lower bar section is a removable panel, rather than cut out. They allowed people to race without the lower bar from in 2002 (when the cars still had ph1...

no, it doesn't show speed (theres nothing in the car to measure it either!). the digi dash shows RPM, throttle vale opening, barrel potentiometer voltage, gear engaged, intake pressure, water temp, air temp, battery voltage, oil pressure, O2 probe correction and diagnostic data. Annoyingly its...

Understand! Drop me a message if you need any advise!

Yeah the original ecu's were sealed to keep the field even. Which car is it? The register is worldwide! It's a different box on the trophy to the 182's but the same principle!

Which trophy are you thinking of buying? There's only a handful in the UK, so we there's probably some info on it in the trophy register on v6clio.net

They are indeed awesome! No I sold mine a few months back. What I meant is you can't take the cage out. The one at specialist cars had a Reg plate but was a ringed ID from a 1995 clio RL. Not legal in the slightest. It was hugely changed from factory, converted to RHD, different suspension.

You could do that with a cup racer, but thats not strictly possible with a trophy racer as a 182 shell is very different to a v6 trophy shell. The cup racers have a bolt in roll cage, in a v6 trophy everything hangs off the roll cage, a bit more like a WRC car. The cage is welded in and...

The only legal way to do it is to put it through an IVA as they have no VIN and no type approval. I recall tried and failed to do it with a grey cup racer a few years back. There were all sorts of tiny issues. If you nab the ID off another car and get caught, the car will be seized. Any...

this car has standard black pole positions in it, I think they look great with the standard phase 1 interior: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/clio-v6/renault-clio-x65-renaultsport-v6-2002/7511320
