Andy was this yours?

Adam, I'm talking R26 R ... not standard R26 .....

Yes had a 205 GTI ... Great car, a little fragile mind... The last great French hot hatch.

 

[dem maser]

ill 2nd that...loved that 205, nothings come close apart from a few clios since the 205....still not as good as the pug

 

[GransportFan1]

yeah i know your talking R26R, it wont reach more than 25K ever, although it is interesting as i recently read that Renault intended to build 230 R26R's for the U.K market yet only 157 made it here.

 

[Andyk]

A very limited market car Adam .. Renault struggled to sell them but give it time and it will be one of those cars that people discover ... Very much llike the CSL...It wasn't a loved car when it came out but know its being talked about in the same breath as an E30 M3 Sport evo.

 

[dem maser]

do they fall apart like they say they do....

 

[GransportFan1]

yeah you could be right, the CSL was not much loved when it came out as it was 60K and immediately lost 20K as soon as it left the showroom, but now, they are so well respected.

I like this R26R.

and this one

the top one is especially rare, i didn't that colour was offered.

 

[GransportFan1]

do they fall apart like they say they do....

What Renault's? oh well, when they are as good as they are, it doesn't really matter.

 

[Andyk]

Well never seem a yellow one Adam ... seen that on the R26 but not R ...Really don't like the blue. White is the colour to have or even the light grey looks good. WHite with red graphics and red wheels would be for me.

 

[GransportFan1]

not red wheels, i like the blue, proper renault colour along with yellow. This is a nice one.
