Classic (old, retro) cars for sale £0-5k vol 2
Discussion
Agreed on needing the T4 (yes I know). If I was to buy a £1500 touring car base it would be this. Not fast, but at least it'd sound nice.

For some reason, I have a massive urge to buy this, leave it looking exactly as it is but fit some modern tyres, upgrade the brakes and fit a Clio 172 engine. It that is at all even possible.
It's RWD with a longitudinal front engine...You got skillz?Can someone with suitable Renault beardage confirm or deny that the 1400 cc lump that Volvo borrowed for the rear wheel drive 340 is the same basic engine as the one used in the Renault 5 Turbo? Would that engine somehow work?
Or would you just shove a Zetec or Vauxhall lump in there?

I’d rather pay the dealer his profit for preparing the car than buy the one that means I save £500 but have to start cleaning and fixing things when I get it home.

Looking around, these 2.4 petrols seem to be good for 300k. Never been a fan of autos but those seem to take the miles, too.
I have a 2.4 auto on 275k. It's an absolute honey. Always reliable, still taut. Sunroof has stopped opening except for the tilt, but apart from that it all works and can carry huge amounts of stuff.supacool1 said:
Always had a sneaky admiration for the LS400. There looks are a bit meh but the seem pretty much un-killable. supacool1 said:
They were a total bargain barge 7 years ago when absolutely nobody wanted one and you could purchase £800-£1000k. For me, at £2k, they're a bit more of a considered purchase. Still great value, but the ship is definitely sailing.It also has two previous owners, not the one he says.

I managed to bag myself a 1982 Citroen CX Safari, been off the road for 7 years but the MOT history tells a story of a well looked after car. I'll be sure to post some pics when it arrives on Tuesday. I have no idea what I'll do with it, I pretty much only bought it because I knew I wouldn't find another any time soon.
More please! 0a said:

More please! For those who liked the S40 1.6, here's the one I want.

There was a girl in our year that got picked up by her mum in one of these, they had a large family and I presume back in the day 'MPV's' didn't really exist.
Yes pre the first MPV ( the Espace) the only other large 7 seater for big families was the 404/405 estate with an extra row of seats. Im not sure what percentage of the French are Catholics, but they seemed popular over there back in the day
