Still,its a real pity to see something like that in that sort of state.
And by the sounds of your investigations Marc,it might be very lucky to escape that particular area in one piece,or as Renault intended!!
I can fully agree, that it will be extremely well and carefully packaged by Ed.
Some say....he takes over the Xmas present packaging department in the
North Pole every year....
He's a bloody master at it ;)
You cant be too strict on Harry now 😉😂
I had forgotten that it was a press car.
But I think I remember him saying in his video with his Trophy,that he got it for a group test,over in France and loved it so much he rang up the Renault press office and asked to keep/buy the car.
That's if my...
I don't know what number Harry's Trophy is, but that would be another one.
Even though, technically it might have two now, since his son Charlie
has the car now I think?
That looks lovely Nick, and agree re the white wheels.
I might suggest something like a dark, gloss grey/silver.
Is it a standard 197/200, not a Cup etc?
Something like a Tolman 205 would be lovely, but only makes any sense
if you already have a garage full of cars and spending over £100k on...
Much appreciated Ed ;)
Who says life needs to be so complicated....
All you need is a relatively small, light weight car with a gutsy little
engine up front, that is also partial to a bit of tripod cornering,
courtesy of a mad French man behind the wheel 😁
Thats how I imagine you nipped...
Be very interesting to see the final results if you go ahead with that, under the skirts project, so to speak ;)
I think doing something like that to the underside, is not all that far off tackling something like an engine bay
and making that look near concourse again.
It can escalate really...
Not a problem at all Ed,the offer is open to anyone if it helps them in any way.
I know most people will just suck it up and pay,but it might save someone a bit of hassle.
I am quickly developing new skills at trying to avoid having to pay extra bloody taxes,buying stuff in from England now.
Just wanted to say.
If any of you are thinking of visiting Ireland at some stage and you want to
order parts from Europe, feel free to get them delivered to my address and
can organise somewhere to meet you to give you the parts to take back with you.
But I doubt many of you would suffer the...
Given the huge amount and variety of, often world class fabricators and workshops
around the UK, you would think it shouldn't be impossible to get something akin
to the original (in looks at least) and built to last a bit better, built.
Maybe the possibility of a small group buy from others...
I cant disagree with you there 😂
The thing is, the majority goes into the more general tax pot
to help pay for everything else.
On the plus side, the crap roads would just show you how good a car
like the Trophy still is ;)
Bang on Ed,its on the old pre 2008 registered CC (Engine Size) payment.
So €710/year.
Also a peculiarity of the whole system,is if you only tax a car for 3 or 6 months at a time for example,you will pay more if you do it that way for 12 months.
I used to barely believe it when relations...
Damn Nick, you must have a road sweeper going down the road in front of you ;)😂
With the state of the roads around me lately, with all the slurry being put out, it wouldn't
last two minutes before it would get destroyed!!
I believe it is based on the oils that they can extract from sheep's wool.
I got it on my Cooper, so hopefully it does the job and for once, defies
the inevitable chances of it falling to bits with rust.
Not meaning to sidetrack the thread, but just be very grateful that you
don't live over here in Ireland.

You would definitely have something to complain about then.
We look at what you have to pay in the UK with a lot of...
I'm probably getting this all mixed up,but is Classic Car Auctions the one the likes of Harry does a preview of?
It can be hard keeping track if all the different auction platforms these days (or maybe that's just me 🙈).
That looks to be wearing its near six figure mileage very well.
From the pictures, you certainly couldn't tell it has 96k miles done anyway.
Some nice spares with it as well.
As per usual, a really good review by Harry.
Cars like this, are really becoming an endangered species.
Your not going to be able to buy a new car with specs and performance like
that, with such little weight....unfortunatley cars like that are fast coming to an end.
If you are in the...
One nice bonus of owning a car like that would be that most people wouldn't want to take it out for a spin,so it would be all yours Nick 😉
You'd have nothing but the Raybans 😎 and a smile on you sitting in that 😁
I dont think I've seen too many Atoms that cheap before,aren't they notorious...
Reading through their history their founder also founded Aragosta (you tend to see those used in a lot of high end Skylines and the like in Japan) and seem to have a pretty serious and impressive history in a lot of different motorsport formulae.
