I'm not on instagram so can't see much but did note one went for about £40k recently :lol:

According to the internet the dampers are worth something like £10k :shock:

That is for No. 001 though. Still daft but puts a little more context into it.

And a Ph2 Clio V6 went for £75k recently didn't it? :shock: I always said they'd never drop below £14k before rising again. Should've got one when they were "cheap"

Wow - so more like £50k. Even stoopider (imho).

I understand the new owner owns A LOT of exotica however, so don’t expect this will concern them.

Doesn’t HarryM still have one of these?

I think the money is a drop in the ocean for that guy isn't it? Even with the number 001, I don't get why that makes this car worth that much money, but what do I know.
Cheers,

This thread has made me go and look at Alpine A110s. They've lovely things and a far better use of that money than a Clio which is only so valuable due to its dampers.

I recall Renault dealers reducing new v6s below £20k to sell them, better than bitcoin! :D

It always makes me laugh thinking back to various cars I considered over the year and discounted for various reasons (reasons that turned out to be daft!)

E30 M3s when they were £5-6k - the forums were full of stories about £2-3k head rebuilds

Clio V6 when they were £10-12k - not very powerful

NSX when they were £15k - not all that fast

Dc2 ITR when they were £5-7k - not that keen on the looks

The thing is though, cars cost money - even if they're sat doing nothing. Maintenance, insurance, tax, etc... so it's not as if I could have just sat on them!

Looking at his profile - Le Mans Winner, so searched it and it's François Perrodo's account. Richest racing driver in the world apparently - makes the Strolls look like paupers so yeah, 40,000 on a Clio is actually peanuts :lol:

996 Turbos when they were £25k...

One day the 306 Rallye that I sold for £2k will be worth a fortune as well.

It can be painful to look back, but at the same time every car (and house) move we have made could not have happened without selling the car (house) that we already had.

Also with most cars adding in inflation, tax, insurance, servicing and that increase in value is suddenly not all that much. Of course it's still better than £40k of depreciation on a 520d...

For me I still can't forget the 50K 993 Turbo I was trying to buy after the TVR Chimera when my friend recommended it as a car I probably wouldn't lose much money on.
Cheers,

I think the one that hurts the most in that list is the NSX. Still remains top of my lottery win list and probably now that's the only way I'll ever be able to afford one.

yeah, I'm sure I remember them at mid teens - they do look great these days.
