I have a massive folder of receipts with the car including old MOT’s, V5’s, service and part bills (pictured). This is a fine example of a car that is becoming rarer by the day.

History of L125 HOP;
An original prize car won by Allister Lolye for the Gerard Motor Sport team at the end of the 1993 RenaultSport Clio Cup championship, the vehicle being number 226 of a limited edition run of 400 right-hand drive vehicles imported to the UK.

The first owner was Roger Gillam, who was the accountant for Gerard Motorsport, being first registered on 01/01/1994 as ‘RDG 25’
During ownership Mr Gillam had the following modifications made;
· Engine management chip fitted by Detection Techniques, Buckingham
· Electronic traction control by Racelogic Ltd (At a cost of over £1000) (Currently Disabled)
· A Gemini ‘Anti-Theft Super’ alarm and immobilizer (CAT 1)
The car was Renault serviced throughout ownership.

The car was then sold to the second owner, Paul Palmer who purchased the vehicle on 16/12/1995 from Gerard Motorsport, the mileage was 29,000. Prior to the sale the registration was changed to L268 LMO on 29/09/1995.
During ownership Mr Palmer had a scorpion exhaust fitted and a cobra electronic immobilizer.
The vehicle was serviced by the owner, with receipts to prove.

On 23/09/1996 the vehicle was sold by Gerards of Loughborough to Philip Tuckey, the recorded mileage was 40,000 miles.
The vehicle was serviced by the owner, with receipts to prove.

The fourth owner was Jonathon Warner who acquired the vehicle on 09/09/1999, the registered mileage was 58,000 miles.
Prior to purchase the registration was changed twice:
On 26/05/1999 to JU5 by Julian Gerard
On 14/07/1999 to l125 HOP.
Mr Warner had a magnex performance exhaust fitted, the vehicle was serviced by Micheal Penney, former race engineer to the Gerard Motorsport Team.

Michael Lord purchased the car on 20/07/2002 when the recorded mileage was 77,500 miles.

Lewis Niven (Me) purchased the car August 2007, on 97,000 miles.

The current mileage is 103,000.

Included with the car is the original Renault handbook, service + warranty book, HPI certificate, original Williams brochure (very rare), two sets of keys with Clifford alarm fobs and a huge stack of receipts dating back to 1994.

****Note: The car does require a new clutch, that is all. The peal stop mechanism has been modified by GDI recently, and the car is fully 100% driveable, all thats wrong is the pedal sits a tad higher than usual and the bits is fairly high.

Like i say though, its fine and i use it everyday.

RR'd today at 162.7BHP

cant really afford to be laying £500 down atm.

As said tho it drives fine so its not something that would have to be done straight away, its more of a 'If you want it 100% spot on, then change the clutch'. Fine me a willy that doesnt need money spending on it somewhere, lol.

Looks good fella! - shame its been modified though - I agree with the others though get the clutch done - people may not like paying full price for the car then forking out for a new clutch...
