197 Cups more exclusive than R27s

[ben_r1]

I haven't even ever heard of the Monaco Megane!!!

If you can prove to me that only 12 were built and anyone could buy them then you win lol.

They only ever got it right with the R26.R. Raider, Gordini, Silverstone etc all a waste of time.

According to that 'how many left' site it only shows two ever registed.

Just type in renaultsport and it brings a list of all renaultsports (obv) and it shows just the two.

 

[930Tech]

In fact, Reading it again it looks like only one registed, taxed in 2011 and 2012.

 

[ben_r1]

Perhaps they're still avaliable for purchase.

 

[Fernandez]

I think they were available in Australia, just a non special like the Silverstone. Priced around $50,000 Aus Dollars (approx £33k) iirc

Not very sporty, either a 1.4 petrol or a 1.9 diesel engine.

Crikey, you could lose your licence in that :rofl:

There was an RS version too

 

[Cjmeek]

When I was buying my 200 back in March they had a 1.4 Monaco in the showroom. It looked pretty nice leather interior and all that.

 

[ben_r1]

How'd an RS version end up over here then?

A chocolate bar of your choice should you be attending Trax lol, simply inform me of your reg and it'll be left on your windscreen

 

[mousegt]

Have a Lux with Cup Chassis not sure how many more there are.

Explains why I havnt seen any on the road !.

 

[ben_r1]

Congratulations mousegt, you have one of 29 it would seem, very rare indeed.

For future reference what does the 197 Lux have which a normal 197 doesn't?

 

[deadmau5]

I know it has leather, but I don't think it has Recaros.

 

[mousegt]

No recaros but the seats are amazing, full leather and carbon effect centre console. The interior is what sold me the car.

 

[930Tech]

They have the sunroof and chrome mirrors too i belive.

I thought my guess had won, not much rarer than a single car.
