Sadly probably worth peanuts. Cool cars though.

I'd stick up ads on www.carandclassic.co.uk and www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk

Edit: both sites above are free.

You could also cut it in half for a Bond car homage smile

As above, not worth much but its a rare car these days (cant recall seeing one recently) and quite low milegae, you might be able to get a "fair" price through the owners club by an enthusiast who would look after it: surely better then a banger racer/ one of these cheap-cars-round-Europe-then-trash-the-car events???

Sadly (for the OP) the renault in the background of that pic is far more desirable.

Yes, and the car in the background is Renault 30ts. My dad had a 30tx back in the day, 2.7injection, went like stink.
I also used to own an 82 Renault 9. Sorry, but it was a horrible car.

My father also had a 30TX. It was a replacement for a Rover SD1 3500. He then replaced the TX with a Merc 280TE and then a Saab T-16.

My hero.

Renault 30 TX very smooth car to drive - my dad had S-reg manual one in light met green with elec sunroof. Unfortunately it was showing signs of rust by around 1984. (That'll be a replacement Granada Ghia Mk2 2.8i then !!). And the 30 TX only did something like 19mpg.

30TX was very stylish car tho IMO. Haven't seen a Renault 30 for years. Or a 20 or 25 or 6 or 16 or 12 or a 5 even. When did you last see a Renault 17 coupe??

Have to agree 9 is horrible - and probably most borrring car in the world.
Ren 30s were rare even when new - and easily outsold by replacement 25 -i reckon 1 years worth of 25 uk sales beat all 30 sales

Well now. You bought it. So that's what it's worth. Or that's what it was worth when you bought it, bur not now. Cars depreciate you know.

Selling it? Wait until you are a grandfather, then fob it off on one of your friend's grandchildren.

Advertise it on retro rides.
Someone will see it's beauty and install the 1.8 16v Clio lump into it.
There was an R9 turbo..........

It was 1982 Car of the Year so it must be fantastic! My dad had a lovely maroon Renault 9 Avenue limited edition, with whitewall tyres. B213CAK, cak by name and cak by nature.

OP, if you are looking at sell it put it on the owners club website.

The Renault 30 only needed self levelling to be a world beater.

My Dad briefly had a Renault 9GTS, supposedly the sporty version. Boring? Any car with thast amount of understeer could never be described as boring - bloody scarey more like! It put me off FWD for life. I suspect that CNW50Y has long gone to the scrappy in the sky.

That sounds like its verbatim from a period GB&U in Car! Amazingly, there's a nice looking one for sale here: http://www.jaguarspares.net/index.php?option=com_r...

You can't mention a 2.8 Granada and then moan about another cars fuel economy. Truly baffles the mind how a cologne engine can drink so much juice.
