RoadworkUK Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 1 hour ago, wuvvum said: Actually, looking at R Classes on eBay, there seems to be a few of them going for around £3K - although most of them are diesels. When I worked at the dealer, the R was one of the few models I really liked. I hated the ML and GL it shared oily bits with, but the R drove far better than either of them. R350d in LWB spec was like a roadgoing Intercity 125. wuvvum, NorfolkNWeigh and cyruspower 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue that the v6 and the racing puma are different enough from a cooking spec models to count as different cars though.

I was thinking more along the lines of different wheels and fancy stickers To carry on with the Renault theme as it's easy off the top of my head. Renault Mégane II 230 F1 R26 - a bit more "focused" RenaultSport 225 with a LSD standard and fancy Recaro seats lobbed in Clio Williams - frock with a posh name Others: Integra Type R - stripped out with a great VTEC lump in too Civic Jordan - bright Yellow exterior with fancy seats on a 1.6 VVTi 106 Rallye - omitted a bunch of options to keep the weight down like power steering, central locking and alloys then give a fancy name with paint job MGF Trophy - last hurrah before the TF facelift while nicking it's engine ahead of its release Rover 25 BRM - still not sure why a bit of spare wrong coloured grille lobbed on the front is loved for people to pay a premium for MGB GT LE - people seem to be prepared to pay a premium over standard rubber bumper cars for these, despite appearing to rust far worse University Motors MGC - tweaked at the dealer for more power and tractability that BL should have done from the factory. Mini R53 JCW - lob a different pulley on to give a bit more power with a crap stick on epoxy bubble boot badge then charge a premium over a standard Cooper S Golf Mk5 GTi Edition 30 - slight boost in power and a sill trim reminding you it's a limited edition but it's VAG so enthusiasts lap it up Sure many, many others that I haven't thought of either where manufacturers or dealers have lobbed a new badge on while stripping stuff out in the name of a special edition.

The later ones then admittedly got the 8v 1.6 and were basically a stripped-out XSI with stickers. Braddon81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
