Speak of the devil, after only mentioning it yesterday.

Someone has been buffing....



Relisted for sale - I think I would have put a new heater panel on it and maybe refurbed the steering wheel at this price point -

I love to see some images of the underneath

So a full recommission but not even refreshed the sachs.

It’s over priced especially as the prices of trophy’s and all second hand cars have been dropping recently..

Like many parts these days, discontinued and unavailable from Renault. They do appear on eBay on a fairly regular basis but are mostly pretty poor. I would be expecting to pay £60/70 for a decent version (which I am also looking for)

Yep. The last one I sourced from ebay set me back £70.

This car has now been removed from the PistonHeads classified - I wonder if it’s found a new owner ???

I’m not sure they refurbed the Sachs but hopefully the rest of the underneath had a refresh - looks like someone wanted some Mark Fish springs instead of the original ones with all the red overspray on them.

Just goes to show that not all 1 Owner - 31k cars look like they should.

Looks a bit like a special Titanic edition underneath.

Everything is fixable though, depends if the next owner wants to spend the money.
Should be a good car after a bit of work you'd imagine.

Yep it’s been stored in a pretty damp garage of some description. Having said that, all the rust appears to be on the bolt ons and they can all be unbolted and sorted. Forget about the exhaust we all know that is just poor. it would be interesting to see other pictures as the one view of a chassis rail looks very clean and rust free. What I would be pretty worried about is the overspray, how shonky a job is that likely to be?
