Its slightly strange that all 3 NPO cars where not taxed after 6 months of being registered,this i find very difficult to understand but my only thought was the Renault removed the NPO plates from the cars when they were sold and retained them,or maybe they were exported?
It was also a bit weird that K521 NPO didn,t have any options fitted as this was the car used the most by Renault as a demo,surely the car used to this degree would of been fully loaded?

Most press cars or early pre production models even though road registered often end up in the crusher.
