Description
Peugeot RCZ R 270 – Opal White – Peugeot Dealer-Fitted Replacement Engine – FSH.
A rare opportunity to own the genuine Peugeot Sport-developed RCZ R 270 – the high-performance flagship of the RCZ range, not a standard RCZ with cosmetic upgrades. Finished in attractive Opal White with contrasting black roof arches, distinctive black-and-silver alloy wheels and red Peugeot Sport front brake calipers.
I have owned the car for approximately three years. It has full service history and has been maintained carefully, with significant work carried out as needed rather than deferred. The last photographed odometer reading is 73, 841 miles; the car remains in daily use and this will increase slightly.
Major Engine Replacement – Peugeot Dealership Paperwork.
In 2021, at a recorded mileage of approximately 47, 354, the car underwent a Peugeot dealer-documented replacement petrol engine installation. The paperwork from Bristol Street Motors Peugeot lists an 'S/ E PET ENGINE' (service-exchange engine), together with associated turbocharger exchange, vacuum pump, seals, gaskets, fluids and labour. The original Peugeot estimate was £6, 989. 40; the final customer invoice was discounted because a garage agreed to contribute to the repair costs. Both documents are available for inspection. At the photographed vehicle mileage, approximately 26, 500 miles have been covered since the recorded engine replacement mileage. This is the mileage since replacement, not the total vehicle mileage.
Important RCZ R Maintenance Already Addressed
In addition to its servicing, the front braking system has had substantial attention, including overhaul of the front Alcon calipers and replaced new front discs. The coolant thermostat housing/ assembly has also been replaced.
Condition And Viewing
A very attractive, carefully used 2014 performance car. It has the normal age-related marks you would expect, including cosmetic wear visible on some of the non-standard alloy wheels; these will not be concealed in the condition photographs. I have taken pride in the maintenance of the car, rather than simply running it on the minimum.
Private sale. £9, 750 ONO. Genuine enquiries and viewings welcome. Service history and the Peugeot engine-replacement documents are available to inspect.
Why The RCZ R Is Special
Developed by Peugeot Sport, the R has a 1. 6-litre turbocharged petrol engine rated at 270 PS (approximately 266 bhp), a six-speed manual gearbox, Torsen mechanical limited-slip differential, specially tuned lower sports suspension and formidable 380 mm front brakes. Its fixed rear spoiler and unmistakable double-bubble roof complete a genuinely distinctive sports coupé. Around 316 RCZ R THP cars have been first registered in the UK according to DVLA-derived data, so it is a far less common sight than the regular RCZ.
For someone who enjoys the appeal of an Audi TTS or Volkswagen Scirocco R but wants something less commonplace, this Peugeot Sport coupé is well worth viewing.
