One lady owner eh?

One few years ago EVO magazine had a feature on a white R26.R, whose owner was a lady in her 60s/70s who regularly took her car to track days.

Could well be the same car.

It has the wrong front bumper and fog lights for an R26.R. It's either a replica or had the front end replaced.

[squirdan]

the front bumper looks correct to me, but agree the fogs should not be there - should be black blanking plates. odd

[Feirny]

The front bumper is correct, the fogs must've been added at a later time.

[artdealer]

Incorrect bumper or at least painted because the headlamp wash blanks are missing. Not R26.R headlights, has fog lights and no blanking plates. As mentioned, incorrect airbag.

It does come up as an R26.R on Glass's Guide but needs a good look around to see why the work's been done and if that's the original Renault carbon bonnet. The spec matches the R26.R master list.

The photos are horrible, been through a filter or low res.

Not one to talk down an .R price but looks a bit strong for 40K+ and no Titanium Exhaust.

Surely crash damaged, the airbag looks like a 225 unit.

[squirdan]

good skills...just shows you how careful you have to be!

[artdealer]

Friend looking for one at the mo, anyone thinking of selling or know of a good one? Pref Titanium and must have FSH and Roll Cage.

020 advertised by Hurlingham Motor Co. has now sold and was advertised at £24990. Hopefully somewhere close.

Hi I’m the proud owner of r26r num 020 this car is the Top spec all boxes ticked when ordered rain sensors electric mirrors ti full caged toyo black wheels ect 26 k mileage had a 50 k budget and found this beauty had loads of nice motors in my time but this really is something else definitely a keeper would not sell even if offered 30k plus I’ve been offered 30k but she’s mine for keeps

Riiiiight. So you now own a car advertised for £25k and you've been offered 30k for it already. And you had a budget double what was required.

Not trying to be funny dude but I had a R26R from factory and they never had the option of auto lights/wipers and folding mirrors. It was climate pack. Paint, Wheel colour, Ti exhaust and cage. I might be wrong but I think your car may have had a mod or two.

[st33ly]

Top tip "My friend" Might be good practice to not come a forum (Especially when new) show boating that you've bought a car at £25k and been offered £30k. "but its a keeper" Right?

FWIW I didn’t see your posts as bragging, just somebody who is very enthusiastic about his new car.

Looks nice mate, I remember seeing the advert. Perfect specs for me. Congratulations.

[tony dumble]

Thanks my friend I am indeed a happy owner of a lovely motor

Precisely this should terrify any one looking at getting an R26.R. Only a handful of years ago it was pretty much accepted that it cost too much money and effort to convert an R26 to a R26.R, however with that gap now as much as £20K (which is perverse IMHO) its got to be very tempting for the unscrupulous. Tread very carefully.

There`s quite a lot of info on Meganesport about which spec which cars came with!

[NJH]

Do you know all the VINs and factory spec for all the UK sold R26.R?

Me personally? No.

[artdealer]

I have a list of the cars manufactured, one or two have altered slightly, like the addition of a genuine Ti exhaust, and of course while the list shows 159 cars the most I can see registered or SORN at any time since 2009 was 95.

There are others that have been highly modded and a few badly damaged but returned to the road. I'd suggest having one properly checked out before buying because a few specialist car dealers either haven't got a clue about the true spec, or are knowingly passing on damaged repaired cars. (e.g. non-OEM carbon bonnet on one which looked dull a few years back was a good tell-tale)
