having read the ownership section and the thread being closed, i thought id ask the audience and see if you guys know where the car no. 26 went too? is the new owner on the meganesport site?
this is my ideal and im TOO keen right now.

I would ask Steve at allvehicles for a start, he sold it to AdamABC and he maybe bought it back??

thanks have done, just waiting for a reply... it seems the .R has appreciated! 18.9k for a private sale these days and only black... dreamers? theres been a offer on one of them.
Just spotted this thread - do lurk on here from time to time. I bought #26 off AdamABC at the start of this year, it now lives up in NE Scotland. It's been de-mapped, the colour of the wheels has changed and I've put 15k miles on it - all of which have been thoroughly enjoyed.
Sadly it's not for sale at the moment (though everything has it's price...), but if you're still struggling to find the right .R next summer get in touch as I could be interested - though by that time the mileage might be astronomical.
Couple of pics taken on the 'long way' back from Le Mans earlier this year...

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm in Aberdeen. Not seen any other .Rs up here (or anywhere else for that matter!) - right part of the country to enjoy them in though.

Yeah that was me - I remember speaking to you just after we'd arrived. Kept my eyes open for your car as we were wondering round the campsites looking at all the interesting metal, but never did manage to find it.

Proof that not every car has less than 10k on the clock. Nice to see another car being used.

Was conscious at first of eroding the value by putting too many miles on it, but have decided that for me not driving it completely misses the point of having it. Still feels 'special' even when it's used every day.

As someone who has just passed 18k on his I couldn't agree more.

Nice car! Your photos look amazing! I've now purchased a .r but thanks for the reply!
Glad to hear you've managed to find the right car - worth the wait as it sounds like you've found a cracking example!
