Collecting Cars Press Car

[Tarticmonkey]

Not sure if anyone has been following this.

The old Renault U.K. 200 CUP press car has just sold on collecting cars for a mental amount!

 

[burrellbloke]

Insane money and no cup spoiler.

 

[R20BTG]

Silly money, £30k for a car that’s been ragged by all the journos and undoubtedly pranged a few times just cos it’s been owned by Renault, no ta

 

[Beany]

£32k is an insane amount of money… I mean the reg plate is epic for the car but still…

A lot of money for james mays arse sweat on them recaros

 

[R20BTG]

[mikeswagon]

Explains why it went for so much. Didn’t understand big Flav.

Mental money. Clearly someone with a lot of spare cash wanting it for their collection.

Good news for you owners though, people will start to lose their mind and advertise their cars for mega money. (See ‘huge spec’** £14k 200 on eBay ** no recaros or speedlines

Lower mileage cars seemed to be on the up before this, I think it’ll push them a bit more.

Just when I fancied another 200 (in Alien Green!!!)

£30k for a poverty 200 thats probably due a cambelt... madness! Compare it to this one from last year, think I know which one I'd have

Someone lost £19k on a V6 recently too:

Sold in Nov 2022 for £92,250

Sold in May 2023 for £73,500

Damn. Maybe I should see if anyone wants to pick up my ex press car for huge overs

the green 200 did drive nice you could even get a good gearchange when cold!

 

[Marsch]

Not a press car.


Low mileage but still insane. It was even advertisd for 49.900,- € before.

How low mileage?

 

[Marsch]

It's in the add...13.025 km. It was listed as "without accident" at first but that got rolled back. From what we know it had a bigger accident and was repaired at a Renault garage for a couple thousand Euros.

 

[burrellbloke]

Are are like Renault 200s more expensive in Europe to buy second hand?

 

[Marsch]

I'm looking at the prices since quite some time now and they're going through the roof.

Here's what's currently listed on one of the biggest German sales platforms.

C3RS @mobile.de

Highest prices seem to get paid in France at the moment.

Here's an other insane add that was up some time ago.



That's more than the asking price when it was new.

 

[Shocker]

Mental prices
I used to have the Honda ctr press car / evo magazine test car
Plaque on the dash was number 9
Was featured in many mags and videos
Even went round europes tracks and featured everywhere
Hopefully the guy that’s still got it makes a few bucks

It's the providence that makes it valuable to some people. Being able to say it was on Top Gear and that people in Korea will recognise it because of that, wins you more pub conversations than "I bought it off some bloke on the Clio forum with low milage."
