They've only sold about 6 in the UK. Wouldn't take long would it? :p

think that would be quite a good idea tbh mate

lol mr t... :)

it would kinda end up (hopefully) like the renaultsport heritage section but with pics so we thickos like me dont have to actually read lol.

Hmm, could do

im thinking if people pm or email me their favorite pics then i can upload them in order. ill need to set up a new email/account on pb so the R pics are the only ones on there... i need to figure out how do get the password thing on thou lol

sounds great.. if not only UK people could join.. RS people don't want to tell exact numbers being made..

It'a a great concept, main problem will be getting a complete picture as many owners don't join forums. But for those of who have it will be interesting!

yea that will be a problem mate. I should have thought about it earlier then we could have got pics and found out the numbers of the cars in showrooms.

I have (sneakily) saved as many pics/numbers as poss so far but i dont want to upload pics without permisson lol.

I might give it a trial run over the weekend, if i get chance, to see how it turns out so ill put a link up for comments/advice off everyone :)

work in progress but have a look and let me know what you all think. ta... :)

http://s644.photobucket.com/albums/uu170/DATABASE_R26R/

i have more cars on a list but with no pics. also have some pics but no numbers lol :o

What's the password, mate?

What's the password, mate?

All I know is, it's not password, password1, megane, or r26r :)

oops lol. Sorry lads.. Try nurburgring :D

You need to get #6 in there! The black one on the top row is number 12 as well.

ah yes! I forgot about amms! I dont think i have a pic of his thou. Will change the black one to 12 aswell thanks. Any idea what number streetfighters is mate?

Just realised ive not even put my own on there lol.

What do ya think of it so far? I might ask the gods if we can have it as a sticky then i can add the list to the thread aswell

Looks good, mate! The black one from the 'Ring next to mine is number 23, btw.

Yeah, I was gonna say that too.

Also, there's Spicer's car from renaultsport that needs adding. Which is numbered one side of mine, either 20 or 22.

thanks david. Will change that one aswell.

Arun, have you got a pic of spicers please mate? Iirc he did post some but i never saved them. Pm me or send it to R26.R@msn.com. Ta :)

I saw #70 @ Snetterton yesterday.

White,red rims, caged with toyos and Ti zorst.

Driven by a 60 year old woman!!

David

thanks D. Ill add that one to my list. I dont suppose you got a pic did ya mate?

No - sorry. Too much time out on track - 7.8mpg!!!

D

Good stuff guys.

Shame they are not all sold and they are not all on but hey I'm sure it will get bigger!!

I'll get some pics of mine at the weekend hoepfully. Need to put the red rims back on before we add her to the database :)

thanks phil. Im hoping over time we should be able to get nearly all of them on the list. Will have to post it on renaultsport tonight aswell :)

Matt nice one matey. Ive got the first 2 pics that you posted a while back with the red wheels on ill wait for you send me another ;) also, what number is your car?

Looks good, mate! The black one from the 'Ring next to mine is number 23, btw.

Yes, we have no.23 and another on its way in a few weeks.

There was a German one, grey with red wheels on the Ring Sunday too.

good stuff mark. Will add the number when i get home. Keep me posted when your next one comes please mate. Would be cool to have pics of them on the 'ring ;)

Chris

There's the one from Sunday, it's near Dusseldorf so not very local. I couldn't find photos of ours on track Sunday :(

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e60/penfish4/Nurburgring/greyr26r.jpg

they had 3 others there too.

Arnold Clark in warrington have a pearl white with black wheels and ti and they have a black with black wheels, ti and cage due any day. You could possibly give them a bell and ask what the numbers are

i've just bought no. 40 white with red alloys, bought in middlesbourgh.

congrats on your new motor roddez and welcome to the forum :)

^ UR car looks great

Just seen your pictures Gustav, awesome car. Always wondered what mine would look like without stickers too!

I do think it looks better without the stickers, never really been a fan of "graphics".

email recieved thanks mate. Looks great with no decals :) will upload the pic later when i get home from work

That looks stunning. Exactly how mine would look if I went for Lunar Grey.

thank you guys.. i love the car.. compared to my Dci.. its a great change..

but one thing I love the most (which it shares with my previous CTR) - that this car gives you so much joy even in lover speeds.. on any-quality roads..

and did you see all those radicals there in Dieppe :bowdown: .. some of them were still inside in the process of manufacture.. (where no cameras were allowed).. but quite a lot.. i was said that mine was the last of 10 they made.. (they produced it on Friday - so very closely prior to my arrival.. )

and what i didn't know - that the new Megane RS will be produced in Spain.. so won't come to Dieppe at all.. where just the new Clio will be made..

and that "Competition zone" - made by phonecam.. it was amazing to see the guys preparing Trophys.. and Cups there..

still have no proper words (still tired, or still amazed).. but it was the best delivery i could imagine.. :drool:

thanks to all RS team.. if anyone sees it.. and Arun for his advices ..

Hi guys great idea this about the database. I'm a new member here as I've had the car just 1 week now but loving every minute of it!

Ok i've got number 158. white, red wheels, Ti, roll-cage and toyo's.

Cheers Neil

Hi neil, welcome to the forum and to the 26R family :)

Have just added you to the list. I think i borrowed one of your pics off renaultsport for the photo database but if you ever want to change it just gimme a shout.

Chris

Great thanks for adding me and that photo is the one I would have chosen anyway until I get a better one done!

Good idea this, lets just hope that most of the owners are also members here so we can get a clear picture of all the R26R's.

im trying my best to find as many as possible lol. will be searching at WSR for any that may be parked on the car park or out of sight ;)

155: black, black wheels, cage/toyos, ti, decal deletion

You missed the ti exhaust...

BF

oops sorry mate. Will add it on now. Thanks for letting me know :)

My cousin has got number 34 - picked it up last week.

Its black, red wheels, toyos, cage and decals.

The number of black and reds on the list moves up to 4! :)

How's he (or she) finding it?

thanks for that clarki :) will add it on the list now. Any chance of a pic if you get chance please mate? Ive still not got a pic of yours yet either ;)

I pick mine up on Thursday.

No: 39.

Lunar Grey / Red Wheels / Toyo R888's / Cage / Climate Control.

gustav urs looks amazing without the decals

Im collecting mine Sunday. Im the new owner of No. 20.

....was after a new one but given up. Dealers were wanting silly money for the last few.

good choice with #20 mate. Let me know if you want to put a different photo in and ill get it uploaded for you :)

good choice with #20 mate. Let me know if you want to put a different photo in and ill get it uploaded for you :)

Yep will do. Ill take some on sunday. Cheers

apparently there is another 20 r26.r sitting in a field somewhere, can't believe southend dealership trying to get 27k+ for their remaining ones. Madness, not worth the premium over a 11k second hand R26

I'm #111 - Cobra Imola drivers seat tho LOL! Did you get all that at WSR?

hi wavers :) will have to change the info on your drivers seat. Yes i got that from wsr. I came and said hello to you (i own the other white 26R that was on the stand)

Oh I remember - Hi! Great day and we came away unscathed as well - unlike some I believe!

thats good to hear. Ive not washed my car yet so im hoping ive not picked up any new scratchs or dents lol. Was a great weekend thou :)

I go to Mid France regularly to see my Sis - I'll look out for any over there and report back!

where in derbyshire are you wavers?

Bout 7 miles from Chesterfield - so part of what seems to be a big NE Derbyshire contingent on here!

I go to Mid France regularly to see my Sis - I'll look out for any over there and report back!

Thats great thank you :) there are a few french/LHD cars that have got uk number plaques

Hey Diamond ;)
I was at the Nurburgring last month and hired a R26R through RSR. They actually have two R26Rs for hire. I drove the Luner Grey R26R with red wheels, cage, no Titanium. Its number 94

The other R26R in their stable is black with Black wheels (I think) cage and no Titanium either. Didn't get the number of that one sorry.
Cheers

top man! Thanks for that matey. Ive already got there black one (think its number 20 something) will get the grey one added on now :)

What did you think about the R mate?

Chris

It was an absolute animal round the ring. The grip in the corners was just immense. Was a real shame to have to give the thing back.

If they ever made there way down under I'd defiantly have to get one.

Im 118!

Got mine last week

Pearl white, Cage, Black wheels, Ti Exhaust

excellent. Congrats matey and welcome to the 26R family :)

Will get you on the list now ;) make sure you post some pics of the pearl beasty.

Bluediamond - I've just noticed you have mine (No. 039) as having the titanium exhaust. It's only got the standard system mate.

No. 039
Lunar Grey / Red Wheels / Cage / Toyo R888's / Climate Control / Electric Mirrors.

:oops: sorry mate

will edit now :)

I wish i had a Ti..... :(

Thanks bud.

Well 700 miles in (I read the manual) and find the recommendation to not exceed 68 mph for the first 600 miles (oops!) I have taken it easy upshifting at 4k in each gear (traditionally that is how Ive broken cars in) It feels quicker than my 350Z. I walked around it when I had it on the ramps after buying it nice full length Ti exhaust. Had a look under again yesterday and the entir length (excluding the cat) had turned a lovely shade of blue!

good stuff mate. I couldnt resist the urge to run mine in as recommended in the manual lol.

There were some good pics floating around a couple of weeks ago from a french site that showed the ti off the car and i must say it did look very nice :)

got any links? Does it go all the way to the manifolds?

im not on my pc at the moment mate but ill send you the link or post the pics as soon as i can. From what i remember it was ti from the cat back but i could be wrong :)

It would be strange it if was as it looks Ti pre cat too? (hence going blue)

ive just "borrowed" a laptop so ill find the link for you now bud

edit: heres the link :)

http://meganers.fr/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9362

Am I a bit thick here - how do you actually see the list??

have a look on page 1 of this thread mate ;)

It would be strange it if was as it looks Ti pre cat too? (hence going blue)

It's titanium from the downpipe, all the way back. The small box in the centre section is the centre-silencer. Meg only has one cat, I do believe, and it's by the engine. Good pics of it in that French thread.

Are there any liquid yellow uk r26r's

Yes, the LY car at Silverstone is the pre-production one that goes to each RWS round.

As for LY UK cars, the .PDF of vehicles that came with the owners pack shows 6 UK numbered cars in that colour.

no problem steve :)

Yes please mate. :)

Riad - Yeah, i was on about the one at the World Series mate. Guessed that was a Silverstone car, but obviously not. LOL. :)

Car looks lovely. Colour is unusual to say the least, but a grower?

It's one of the more rare paint options, which in my opinion makes it an absolute winner. Pictures don't do it any justice. Combined with the red wheels, it's perfect IMO.

Saying that, any colour combo R26.R makes me happy. :D

According to that my car is unique! I thought there was 21 PW's in the UK?

You sir, are a legend.

All 159 UK cars have now been found. Awesome.

How come the 159th is No: 255? Just the way the shells were selected?

hi - you may want to correct the list in the first post:

car no. 36 has the titanium exhaust, but not climate - otherwise the details are correct

thanks!!

btw - is there a pic of car 225 (i.e. the 159th)?

I'm guessing someone asked for that number specially - isn't it a model number of one of the other Megane sports models?

Yes I've always assumed they chose 225 to tie in with the original Megane Sport variant, the plaque would then nicely show both power outputs of Megane sport models (225/230). Could be anything really.

Acording to the latest EVO there is still a load un-sold & there being sent back to europe ???????.

I read that too, but as far as I know, that isn't happening. Renault only made as much as they sold.

Thanks mate. Have changed the details ;)

I dont have any pics of #225 yet. I thought it was abit strange aswell jumping from 158 to 225. Imo it would have been better/nicer to have #230 instead

I've got number 11 in pearly white with red wheels, cage and titanium.

........didn't they send so many to the uk & it's these that are un-sold that are going back?.

Hi mate and welcome to the forum :)

Any chance you could post a pic of your pearl beast please? The only pics i have are from the docks when it arrived in the uk.

Cheers

........didn't they send so many to the uk & it's these that are un-sold that are going back?.

I dont think so mate. There are only a couple left unregistered in the uk afaik.

Dont forget, 71 uk cars were never actually built so i recon the rumours floating around (like a field full of R26Rs or a load of cars being shipped back to france etc) will be due to people thinking that the full 230 cars were built, if that makes sense lol :o

hi there

do you happen to know which two are as yet unregistered?

Renault Southend had these two a month or so back:

black, red wheels, cage, toyos, titanium (climate??) sticker price £27,385
blue, black wheels, cage, toyos, titanium (climate??) sticker price £27,145

i think they were marked up at list price, so if you knew the option prices, you could probably work out if they had climate.

fwiw, the car i test drove was reg plate HN58ULB
white, black wheels, cage, toyos, climate (i'm fairly sure)
(similar reg to the car tested in this months EVO, except that ended in a D)

I have a photo of each if you are interested, but i don't know the plaque numbers...

On the matter of the midding 71 UK cars - i cannot imagine that Renault would actually have built these without them actually having been ordered by paying customers or garages. Also, rhd UK cars would only be easily saleable in another rhd market in which the car was homologated. Is there actually one? However, it would be interesting to find out why the EVO journo wrote those comments.

all the best

hi mate

Sorry but i have no idea what number the 2 that are left are. With out checking my 'geek folder' it sounds like they are pretty close to list price. From memory option prices were:

Cage/toyos £700
Climate pack £400
Black wheels £150
Pearl paint £1200
Ti exhaust £2250

Car price £23,800 (?) before the drop in tax.

Iv not seen the one you test drove either but it must be in the first batch (there isnt many 58 plates) so i may be able to work out what number it is by checking it against the list.

Post or pm the pics if you dont mind mate :)

Agree with you on the 71 missing cars aswell, thou you can see abit of a colour batch pattern around the middle of the list that i think would be cars that were not actual customer orders.

I dont know what other RHD markets there are tbh but i do know that there are some uk numbered cars that are LHD/foreign registered (a white one #80something and #147 in blue iirc) so the 159 cars in the uk is not strictly true :o

Iv just thought.. A lad on the renaultsport forum is due to pick up a blue .R sometime soon so that could possibly be the blue one you mentioned. Ill drop him a pm and see if he knows what number it is :)

Cheers

Hi Chris

I've examined the pdf file data in a bit more detail now that i have most of it (and all of the uk cars) in Excel.

Here's what i have found:

I think the blue car per the above could well be car 153 - the price being £27,140, made up as 24,040 + 700 (cage/toyos) + 150 (blk wheels) + 2250 (Ti). (In fact in my picture (which i will send you) the last digit of the price is hidden, so i had guessed the '5'...)

Of more interest though is that the chassis number (and the colour / spec) of U.K. cars 120, 122, 125, 126, 127, 132, 133 are the same as 'Overseas' cars 01-07.

This suggests to me that perhaps these seven cars were designated originally for the UK, but were then either sent back to go to wherever 'Overseas' happens to be (how about South Africa? - they drive on the left). Maybe this is the basis for the comments made in EVO - except it was 7 cars not 71??

If this is correct it means only 152 'U.K.' cars (not 159) of which only 4 are liquid yellow - not the 7 you would think at first glance.

Anyhow, thats enough sleuthing for tonight - would be interested to hear your views...

Mine #139 is a LHD driving here in Slovakia ..


anyway - could anyone send me the pdf you're talking about? can't find it in my owner's edition USB (email: gustav@budinsky.sk)

thanks in advance.

i had forgot yours was LHD gustav. Will add that onto the list :) if you open up the folders on the USB mate the numbers are in the "pack liste" folder.

Noir, sounds like that could be the car then mate. Quite a pricey one lol. Will await the pic when you get chance to post it up. It could be the car that a lad on renaultsport is having.

Thats quite interesting re the chassis numbers. They could possibly be LHD cars aswell hence having overseas chassis numbers or, as you say, could have been RHD cars sent off to a niche market in some other country. I guess we will never be able to figure it all out unless we can get a photo of every car that was made.

I wonder if anyone has emailed EVO to ask why they say there are a boat load of cars being shipped back to europe? It could just be a mistake on there part (like a couple of issues ago they said the seats were recaros lol)

re the blue car - pricey yes, but a month ago it almost certainly could have been purchased for ~15% off that price... I know this, re the Black car that was at the same garage and would probably have been the easier of the two to shift... Still, since then we have had the TG and most recent EVO reviews, so who knows!

no folder such name there mate.. that's why i asked anyone to send it to me if poss :)

reg the EVO .. i was staring at those "recaro " seats as well.. surprising as it has sabelt stickers all over the place ..

thats strange mate!

On my usb there is a link on the first page to it (iirc on the left hand side of the page) and also if you open it instead of running it there is a folder. It definatly should be on there.

Ill see if there is any way of emailing it to you over the weekend when iv got plenty of spare time :)

Yes it made me smile when i read the seats where recaros. I dont think the lads from sabelt where to impressed either :D

gustavb - if you have the usb card, it will be on there. using explorer, look for this file:

Hi Chirs

just been looking at you photo database:

you say that car HN58ULB (the one I test drove, as it turns out) is number 003; however the pdf lists car 003 as having a Ti exhaust, whereas HN58ULB does not. See last picture from your RUK album, if you want to see what i mean. So either this is not number 003 or the pdf is wrong!!

finally, you list some cars as '(RSR)'. What does this mean?

all the best

He means that Ron Simmons Racing have them out on Rental in Germany at Nurburg.

^^^spot on mate :)

I think you are right, noir, about #003. It was featured in a magazine a while ago (tested against an R26 race car) with a standard exhaust on. I presumed it had been fitted just for that article.

Hi there. First post. Hi Guys - great site. Rif=gth now I want to read everything and watch everything there is on the R26.R - I've bought 117. Right now it is probably the most shiny R26.R in the world!

Keep up the good work.

Both of these are fun to drive!

mines 118 ;)

Look forward to meeting you brother!

dear lord, what an amazing pair of machines! Bet that caparo (sp?) is a right beast :eek:

Iirc, #116 was/is for sale in portsmouth i think :)

Bet that caparo (sp?) is a right beast :eek:


You have the spelling correct - which is more than can be said for me most of the time!

Anyways, the Caparo does not belong to me but is 'available'. Always handy to know a trustworthy driver ...

It is a beast. Makes my R1 look and feel slow. 100% concentration required to drive it.


Iirc, #116 was/is for sale in portsmouth i think :)

People don't seem to keep these R26.R's for long. My plans for it are long term.

A friend and I spent the day in the Caparo today but the dotR still bought a smile to our faces on the way home. Brilliant little machine.

The T1 looks fantastic, one of my favourite cars of all time. Flat-plane V8's do something for me like no other engine.

I wish I had one 'available' to me! It would be an absolute riot in the sprint championship I do! If the owner ever finds themselves at a loose end with what to do with it one weekend, then let me know ;)

quality mate. You are one lucky fella to have a drive in that beast. Bet the meg will have it in the twistys thou LOL.

Uber respect to the owner (or whoever) for making the T1 "available" for you to have abit of boost. Id be so scared driving a car worth that sort of coin!

Good to hear the .R can still bring a big smile to you face after spending the day with car like the caparo. I love mine and hopefully will keep it forever.

Afaik #116 is still brand spanking new and is one of the very last cars to be bought/registered :)

dotR1 - you are a gent for posting that pic. Love your .R and that Caparo as well. I for one (job and other factors willing) hope to keep this car for a long time. I don't do many miles in it, but every one makes me grin from ear to ear. Aside from the looks, I still can't believe its a Renault, but that just reflects my ignorance of the marque and everything they seem to have been achieved with the Renaultsport range!

Re #116. Out of interest, which dealer has this car and is it really still unregistered? I can only think the seller is asking list and any potential buyer is then put off by the purchase prices he then reads about on this forum!!

This is the £28.5K Lunar car at Sewards Portsmouth, is it not?

Guys I know this is off topic, but have any of you bought a second set of wheels? Im struggling to find the a set in the offset of ET68. Is this really the correct offset? I am looking for something lighter than the OEMs ideally a Team Dynamic. But they dont list such an offset?

Help? Opinions?

it was for sale by marc elgar (sadly not a renaultsport dealer now but i had my car off him and he is a top lad and did my an awaying deal) in a dealership in portsmouth but it was/is up at 26 or 27 grand but i think this was down to the DP thou as its much more expensive than marcs normal 'super' prices. It still had a couple of thou knocked off the list price.

Young hallet should be able to confirm if its sold or not. I believe his dad was looking at/considering buying it a couple of weeks ago.

Offset is 66mm for the .R, 68mm for the regular cup alloy

Yes mate afaik that is the correct offset but dont quote me on that lol.

I have on idea what light wheels are available tbh im afraid. A couple of lads have bought a 2nd set of wheels but these are either track wheels or winter wheels.

I can see a "bahnstormer mission" coming on now thou.. :D

Sorry I meant 66.

Bahnstormer mission already launched. Wheels and tyres are high on the agenda.

hi 5 to that bahnstormer :D

Will be good to hear what you can find out ;)

I reckon for less than 1200 nicker there WILL be a set of track boots in the back ;)
Then Im going for floating discs ;)
