Ph1 172 Sunflower Register

[Harpham]

Yep, and some none sport 1.6S Clios.

Really?? Thought that the Sunflower Clio's we're just in 172 form. Didn't know there we're some non sports in that colour.

Thought so, there's one at my work its mega faded though so I wasnt 100% if it was actually sunflower.

Get a pic.

I wasn't sure if the magene was the same colour, as whenever I've seen them the colour looks slightly darker/duller. From what I remember.

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah ill get one when I leave. Definitely looks duller.

 

[Willliams]

I think you'll find this was Sunflower yellow too..



Thought to be the first v6 ever made, after the black prototype. Seen here with Tom Walkinshaw.


Regarding Kathy's Sunflower, I have no idea what so ever what the registration number was. It was, as far as I'm aware, the first sunflower on CS back in the day. A very early car. There's possibly some pics somewhere of it covered in CS sticker at FCS 2002

Yeah, there's one down the road. Uncolour coded bumpers look odd though.

 

[Harpham]

Get some pics of it plz.
Im intrigued.

 

[Feirny]

Yes boss.

 

[Stu.]

There was a sunflower 1.2 MTV thing in the scrapy near me a while ago

 

[couzens]

sunflower and RB where non-sport colours on the continent. saw a RB van at Lemans last year

 

[Craig.]

The Megane coupes are sunflower too

As for the non 172s that are sunflower they are 1.2 16v sports not sure how many were made though, There's a young lass local to me with one, I did have a pic parked next to it on my old phone

[Bren Rogers]

actually looks like quite a tidy little motor

 

[Harpham]

Might buy it for the girlfriend. She hates the Sunflower. LOL

 

[-Rob]

as promised, probably the worst picture ever taken but it's got a personalised plate so no idea of the original plate.

 

[Craig.]

Just go knock on the door

 

[Stu.]

Rang up about the one on ebay being broken. Apparently had a front end smash and was badly repaired.
Does this make this No 25?

25)
X629 GHE
Date of registration - 20/12/2000
Former keepers - N/A
Mileage - 83000
Alloy bonnet - N/A

Now in bits and shell scrapped!

 

[Craig.]

Looks that way stu, scrapped though

Rawb needs to get some info on the one he's got the picture of to make it number 26 then only 5 to find.

 

[Harpham]

5 more and then we can get some stickerzzz made!!

 

[Harpham]

Spotted this on eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...omobiles_UK&hash=item4602d9d5f9#ht_839wt_1189

Anyone's on here? Going to email the seller to find out the reg.

EDIT: K88 DPB - The one Feirny spotted a while back. Darn.

 

[Paul172sport]

nearly there. Think might need some help from inside renault to find the last 5.

 

[Harpham]

I actually emailed Jeremy Townsend a while back. He hasn't got back to me, unfortunately, since our initial contact.

The only information that we will be able to provide is how many of the 31 cars are currently licensed and how many are current on SORN. This isn't going to be quick to provide at the DVLA have to provide the data. There are no owner details or mileage available.

As soon as I have it, I'll let you know

Best regards
Jeremy

Hopefully he'll get a response in the near future and get back to us.
I actually look forwards to getting our "Trophy like" stickers made.

 

[Paul172sport]

whats chances the last car we find pushes mine down from the first!

 

[Harpham]

Y372 NBU

(found through google on here: http://www.106rallyeforum.com/forum2008/archive/index.php/t-81049.html)

Doesn't seem to be on here. Does that make 4 more to go??
Can people do their checks please?!
(Showing as insured, so still alive)

 

[Paul172sport]

[Stu.]

Yeah thats brens ^^^ and how will we get numberd stickers if a few were registered on the same day?

I want to buy it now

Always wanted a sunflower.

 

[Bren Rogers]

Yep that's mine before I bought it. Hear transplant ongoing, bit of an update today.

 

[Paul172sport]

Yeah thats brens ^^^ and how will we get numberd stickers if a few were registered on the same day?

guess either by the reg no. if the same suffix or if not have to try the last didgits the reg?

any other ideas?

 

[Craig.]

Maybe go off the last few numbers on the chassis number that's what they do at Renault to locate a car as they don't have reg plates on at the docks.

 

[Aydon182]

There's one on eBay atm.

Edit: already been spotted

 

[Paul172sport]

Thought to have been crushed, just another development car back then. Hope it's still about!

That was a Clio v6 Trophy car. A slightly different beast In Saffron, as they came from the factory.
