Ghosty Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 What a charmer! It's oddly similar to a 205 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifflemon Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Ah the happy memories... A Renault 5 TS (KRU 593W) was my first car. It blew the headgasket in the first year, I tried to replace but then discovered the bottom end had gone. Paid a garage to put a 1.4 TX lump in (they didn't - Long story). Bought several more 5's along the way, including a couple of Gordini's. Had a couple of flirtations with 4's too (B885 ODG, and a van who's reg escapes me). I'm sure you already have, but make sure that thing is drowned in cavity wax! Sills, rear arches, inner wings, the list is endless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexg Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Afternoon Autosnotters This plucky little number is up for grabs if anyone is interested? It's a smashing little summer daily driver, taking me 11 miles to work down the Kent country lanes, and then home again. The new 1.1 engine is sprightly enough to keep up with modern traffic and the LHD driving position is easy to adapt to given the small size and narrow pillars. It's a tremendous laugh and gets plenty of attention. Points of note: 11 months MOT Road tax exemptRebuilt 1.1 Engine supplied and fitted by Renospeed 2016 at a cost of £2000New oil and filter 2 weeks agoHeater matrix bypassed as cloggedVery rustic but very solid - worst blister spots photo'd belowRuns and drives superbly. Selling as moving house and it would be a benefit to downscale the fleet. Autoshitter price is £2000. Elsewhere £2350. A few pics below, check out the first page for others.

junkyarddog Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 That's a little cutie. To my great shame during my "career" as a car dismantler I let one of these slip by me and be crushed It was used as a spanner car for a wee while until a diesel BX replaced it,then it just sat there until it got baled. Think it was a '74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeangel Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Lovely, great colour too. Must be one of the first floor change models surely? Defo. My first car was a '74 5L and that still had the 'umbrella handle' gearchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capsuleboy Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 That will be me then...Shiply did the delivery thing and I have to say I was very pleased when she rolled off the transporter last night.So with the BX being rebuilt and the CX now on the road, I feel something else will have to give.May part with the Ami6, in a very non shitter "its now worth a fortune" kind of a way. But in my defence it may let me go back to France to get the Renault 16 I had a cheeky bid on a few weeks ago.Oh and a 1980 Skoda Estelle still on Hungarian plates anybody.Yes I know, pics will follow...
