Cheers fella, I love the car, fun to drive but my first bug is up for sale which I sold 5 years ago so need must

Cheers fella, it is difficult to put a price on a rare car like this. I have had it checked over by John at Renault Turbo Spares in Blackburn and all is good. Checked all the usual 'grot spots'.

As I have said it needs paint, which I am getting sorted and have some Turbo decals, sent from Portugal to go on a week or so after the paint has hardened.

[wal]

TTT we go, need a sale as I have sorted a deal with my 1st bug

[wal]

Upp we go

[les509]

Didn't know you had a thing for these mate!

Alright Les! My dad and Neil had a few in the 90's, great fun to drive!!

[dazvr6]

Wow.
I haven't seen one of these for years!
Are they rear wheel drive?

[Out With The New]

Nope. They are the coupé relative of the fwd Renault 18 which was replaced by the 21.

[Mr Squidian]

we do one of these at work. but its not in half as nice a nick as that !

[wal]

Now on ebay, selling as is with the parts U have bought. Low reserve too

[wal]

TTT : D

[les509]

Have seen this in the flesh - it's survived remarkably well - make a nice toy for someone!
