Would love to know what happened to the Saltash Car Auctions Renault 14TS. Here's another pic of it:

Saw it there on two occasions last year.

:arrow:

 

Can anybody vouch for what happened to that 14 TS sat at the auction house in Saltash. Would be cool if somebody on here ended up with it!

Well I keep checking to see if the 14TS is actually in my garage, but it's not :cry::cry::cry::cry: This TS is also in a great Renault colour - Sea Mist - or Sea Green as it was known before 1980.

 

The 14 was absolute crap and in the eyes of some, not a "real" Renault due to the Peugeot engine - However my first car was a W plate TS in gold - OVT 433 W wouldn't even have made it as far as the recycling bin due to rot. I genuinely loved that car and have great affection for the 14.

 

I keep watching French Ebay and waiting for one, preferably owned by someone capable of understanding my useless French and who lives next to the port at Calais or Caen :!:

 

Oh yes - and who's willing to part with it for next to sod-all :wink:

Also have a bit of a thing for the real EARLY Sterling....You know....Usually two-tone, and before they fitted the chrome grille & rounded it off a bit....Can't find one of those for sale anywhere....My boss about 20 years ago had one....Gold/Grey and fully loaded....Helluva car! :D

2.6? PAH!OK, so it is frugal and nearly as fast as the 'real deal'...But you'd just feel cheated every time you started it up without that big burbly V8 rumbling away...... Sterling? I think they are all gone aren't they? Even the pub-landlord would HAVE to have the later roundier one!

I dunno....I've had experience of SD1s in 4cyl, 6cyl, V8, and Diesel forms....I loved them all....Maybe it's because I was young & impressionable back then, but even when I drove the 2000 it felt SPECIAL to me....It just looked a bit funny without the front spoiler! :D

Baz, I'm with you on the early Sterling thing, or maybe an 825i for less weight/more speed.I found a taxless 827SLi on an L-plate a couple of weeks back outside a KFC in Portsmouth...next to the Honda dealer, maybe it was a trade-in. Looked a tidy old bus and a manual too. Thought about leaving a note on the 'screen but didn't, it had gone last time I looked :(

Sold as a "Roller" over here IIRC....Is that a crew cab pick-up Merc G-series (or French equivalent....Peugeot?) in the background? :shock: ....

Nice late R20....Is it really a TS though? Diameter of the wheels suggests TL spec to me....But then, the TL wasn't 2-litre....Oh, I dunno! :? ....

This looks like great summer fun! Tax and MOT until April 2008, full length sunroof, mad stripey seats. I'd absolutely love to cheaply tidy this up (self-refurbish the steels, a good clean, bit of paint) and keep it bog standard.

It's not good at the moment, granted.But I can really see the potential in it.

Man, what a sleeper you'd get if you put the running gear into a 1500 Estate body and kept the externals bog-stock. Or go back to a Humber Sceptre external setup on that shell, if there's been mucho fabrication to get everything to fit thus far.

Stellars are always RWD, I reckon that one looks alright. The really fabled RWD Hyundai would be the Pony, especially in pre-facelift guise with twin round lights.

 

Perhaps the forthcoming free listing weekend (as advised by Mr_Bo11ox on R-R) will throw one up. Bound to be some choice pickings - watch out for a certain red Accord!
