Might need to wear your thermals Nick!

Whats worrying me is some very nice cars are being offered for sale at the worst possible time. Im not convinced that all the sellers are forced to sell due to the usual excuse of baby on the way/ new house etc. My latest copy of Classic and Sportscar magazine is so padded out with dealer...

About 10 mins away from me if anyone is keen to have a 3rd party view and report on condition etc!

Really struggling as most of the cars I want are either too expensive or are rusty as hell!

RB has been resting in Espania since April and I have enjoyed many drives out since. Since leaving the EU it’s not so easy driving around in a UK plated car so I have a decision pending in April when her MOT runs out. I have 3 choices. 1. Pay the Matriculation fee of £1500 which puts her on...

What a shame. Could she be saved?

Pm sent

#151 would be available if you wanted continuity of vehicle for a new group test! 😎

Not there today but will keep an eye out for it before I come back home in a few days. I had a new red one in 89 and it was a right hoot to drive and back then 6.5 to 60 was bloody quick!

Think I might pop back up and see if it’s still there. Will try and take a few more shots

Filled up the RB and saw this old girl parked up nearby. Tired and obviously on aftermarket wheels. Early example as bumpers not colour coded. Copa was the Spanish version of the R5.

I’d be disappointed if it didn’t get to 20k all up

Merry Christmas to all of you guys and girls. Also a big thank you to Ben and Nik for keeping our fantastic club ticking along nicely for another year.

Thanks for your efforts so far Nick. The Collaboration between you and Ed sounds like a cracking idea for the 20th.

Nicks back! Thought you had already bought it! 😂

😂😂😂

I agree Ed. Also that area from the filler down to the wheel arch is a problem on these cars. If it’s a 3k 182 for fun it’s not that important. The Trophy attracts fussy sods like us who are willing to pay silly money for these cars. I’m just pointing out there could potentially be a...

After owning 3 of these 182 cars which luckily have all been corrosion free other than the usual surface stuff I would be concerned with the area around the fuel filler cap on this car.

Stan is your man. £50 labour for a cam/aux belt change and a service!

Good luck with sale Mat. Some underbody and engine bay shots would be a good addition to your advert.

Could be an alternative to Wales in the Hope it’s not bloody raining!

The EV evangelists and the government will try to convince you it’s better for the environment and scrap that fantastic little car which has many year’s service ahead to buy a 50k Tesla! Empty out your wallet for a clear conscience….

If my RB hadn’t gone down south I would be very interested in this car. All the hard work has been done and she is ready to enjoy. Good luck with the sale.

What model BSA is that hoolio ?

You forget how lucky we are to have high def photos these days. 2 of my favourite cars from the past. The 205 1.6 was a year old when I picker it up. Sold to buy a new red Renault 5 Turbo in 89. The day I picked up my hairdresser car in 03! 😂

Don’t apologise Ed. Most of us are weird on here!

Great shot Ed. Like the matching windows! What part of Ireland was this taken? If there isn’t an existing thread for us old codgers to post historic photos of our previous motors this could be the start of something interesting.

Priceless

This gets interesting. The magic barn dust once removed would cause glacial depreciation. Classic case for a full wiper delete.

It’s quite worrying that after an extensive search online, speaking to RPD, K-tec and finally calling my local Renault dealer there is no stock in Europe and currently on back order. The item is an Auxiliary belt kit! Yes you can buy Febi and aftermarket ones but as the installation requires...
