SiC Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Mr Laurence said: Clio trophy’s a good one! 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...

I'm pretty out of touch with the prices on these, mind you, so maybe it's reasonable. reasonable imo. There aren't many 340s left as a lot of them got drift slagged in the 2000s.

The only thing I can think of is an Escort Harrier, possibly? CSK Range Rovers were silly money when normal Range Rovers were still getting Bob-tailed or getting their engines ripped out for kit cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
