My RenaultSport Clio RS200 Cup.
Absolutely gutted guys, the RS200 is now up for sale due to needing a deposit for a house. 1 of only 15 and in a immaculate condition with ultra low miles. Took me 2 years to find this spec and condition.The following link is to Gumtree UK so sorry if this is not allowed?

Hello Folks,
I've only just realised that the only car I've posted here has been my
Laguna 205GT Coupé. However, over the past 4 years there have been
stirrings in bringing this back to the road. As ever, let the pics do the
talking...
I've had the R5GTT for 24 years, and for 5 years it was my hugely reliable
daily over 40 odd thousand miles. Then it was tucked away in my garage for
15 years, 10 of them sight-unseen simply because my back garden was so
overgrown and my disability showed a few signs of slowing me down
I know that starting the nut and bolt resto when I did was quite a wise move. If I
were to start today, I'd simply not be able to afford it. Even when you challenge
some exorbitant pricing of parts, you get quite a raspberry as a response. The
willy-wavers, who seem to think that it's good fun to wave their PayPal harder
than everyone else, are now killing the restoration hobby for the ordinary guy
The value of these OE cars is barely keeping up with restoration costs, although
that may be about to change. That'll take the cars right out of the very hands it
was intended for. This car will only be a part-time garage queen. Yes, I insisted
that it be shiny in all the right places, but I'd forgotten just how much fun it is to
drive. While in my possession it'll get driven like I've stolen it. There is nothing like
scaring other drivers by tucking a wheel up from the road, it just goes a little bit
quicker!
Regards,
Steve

Hope I still have my 172 cup in 10 years so my nephews can learn in it.

WaftyStill, I suppose you can't have everything.
