Also like the guy's beta volumex. I had one years ago and it was a hoot.

It's probably been discussed, but it can't hurt t look at it again.
If my numbers had come up, I'd have bought most of these guy's stock.

Ex Mansell 19 16v - been mentioned before so I assume not sold last time round

I had one of those with the full leather 'Executive' interior trim. It was a fantastic thing and many memorable road trips were enjoyed in it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-19-16v-Ex-Nigel-...
Alas I suspect H508HLF has long since been consigned to the great French scrapheap in the sky.
I always had a bit of a soft spot for the Chamade, too.

15 owners from new 
Fond memories of these. Mother chopped in the family XR4x4 for a six month old 2WD Saff when I were a lad, and had it chipped not long after. Distinctly remember it once coming on boost in 2nd on a greasy uphill, revs flaring, and her coolly putting it back in line with a flick of the wrist, left hand still on gear lever.

Mind was slightly less cool: she drove a (bright green!) Fiat 126 (but not in ths style of the guy at the top of this page).

Happy New Year Threadista!
Today also marks 21 years since this was first registered. What a new year the first owner must have had. This years automotive resolution will be to get her back on the road.
Jesus min! I can't believe you've still got it! What's the repair bill to get it running again?Today also marks 21 years since this was first registered. What a new year the first owner must have had. This years automotive resolution will be to get her back on the road.
Hope you're well ol' bean.

I can lower the level, Mum had a Metro City, which was replaced with a Citroen AX 1.1 Salsa, that I learned to drive in. Before the Metro I can vaguely remember a Jewish Racing Gold Ford Cortina.She kind of redeems herself though, as she was a chauffeur before she gave up work to have me, and has driven all the nice Rolls Royces and Daimler Double Sixes of the 1970s, as well as the odd E Type. So it's not all doom and gloom.
