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...

So glad you managed to sort this Will. The Trophy specific parts are now becoming very difficult to source and are incredibly expensive. The days of squirrelling away a couple of sets of Sachs dampers, springs and trendlines are over.

If I wasn't so far away this would interest me for a winter project.

Apart from the obligatory black mark due to being written off there is potential for someone to resurrect this car. Looks like the only major damage is forward of the slam panel but the subframe and top mount geo could be all over the place. Who is brave enough

Sold my BG on CC to finance #151. Forum experts said Id be lucky to get 4k. Lost a fortune without my free spanner skills but enjoyed the journey. The canny collectors know what it takes to get these little cars up to scratch and the good ones are getting harder to find...

I’m lucky enough to have a very nice RB. If I was in the market for a sorted 182 and not willing to pay Trophy Tax I would have bought this car tonight

Being slightly biased I think this car due to its condition and arguably in the best 182 colour will do very well tomorrow.

That is the most tucked engine bay I have ever seen! Looks like it’s waiting for the ancillary items to be fitted. Where the hell has he hidden the clutch and braking system? Clever chap!

I went into my carpeted/ heated garage today, removed her nice red cover, trickle charger and drove my cosseted shiny Trophy to K-Tec for her annual service and Mot in the most atrocious weather. There were brown puddles everywhere which the van drivers and 4x4 smug bastards love to blast on...

Managed to find some time for another trip to Espania next week. The wife does the usual sunbathing/reading books etc but after a few days I get bored so I’ve pre planned another 1 day jaunt for RB. The well respected Evo mag columnist /racer Dickie Meaden has on many occasions raved about the...

Watched this again tonight and sent the link to my 2 brothers who are petrol heads.(M5 comp,SL63 AMG). Looks like Mother is off to to Sunrise senior Living earlier than anticipated….

A well deserved result. Try finding another sub 50k one owner!

Good luck with the sale Steve.

Welcome aboard.

There are no negatives. These subframes totally transforms the driving position. The oem seat height in the regular 182 and the Trophy is way too high especially for taller drivers.

RB has been on a 3 day road trip down to southern Spain! I split the journey into 3 500 mile chunks. Day 1. Bournemouth to Dover, through the tunnel and stopping at Orleans south of Paris. Day2. Orleans to Vitoria - Gasteiz northern Spain via the Pyrenees mountains. Day 3. Vitoria - Gasteiz to...

Not many cars look so good as that E with steel wheels and hub caps!

Yes I have bought one and I’m sorry to say it’s not anywhere close to Capsicum red. Would be interested in one that does match.

Dodgy bootcut jeans and poncy white ballet style trainers give the game away. Sorry I’m out!…..

I stand corrected but BG are the only company that can get hold of genuine Sachs components. I recon Cooksport and others have to go them for parts on jobs that require more than seals and a paint job. My pair looked like the classic case of leaking seals but once apart the refurb moved to...
