Mash Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Wonderful cars, I love the 16, it's absolutely beautiful. I really do aspire to own one someday but I fear that day is a long way off!!Welcome to the site, you will see we are all in awe by the number of replies to this post in the first day! Lucky guy indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENOMAD Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi Guys, Thanks for all the complements about my cars-----Sorry about the slow reply. I am looking for a 17,,,,,and I will exchange the 16 (if it is good enough) for a 17,,,NOT.Guys, I am in Ireland. The 16 is on EIRE plates and the rest will be shortly.I actually have MR.Renault 18 to thank for both the 15 & 18, as both were belong to him.The Fuego I picked up on EBAY UK, and believe it or not,,,that 16 was for sale for 2 years through the Renault Classic Car Club..I am looking for a 17.I presume that that white Gordini one is the property of Paul Godfrey!!!???Happy Shite Times Ahead.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-reno-139 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 hi to john ( F.........?) and all other fans well the 17G isnt mine and the owner is keen to stay fairly low profile for security reasons so i can only confirm that it does indeed belong to the supplier of your lovely alloy wheels on the 15 i worked out who you are but respectfully didnt name you  mr N bickle (might be his real name )has indeed viewed this barn collection recently and even he was amazed !!! but he has signed the official secrets act and unless i am given permission i will be unable to supply more info at the moment  i can however tell you that there is a brand new unregistered dacia denem estate sitting next to 17G (hiding far side of early 12 est ) definitly no v6 tagoras now he did have 1 but broke it up  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD3 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Great collection and great to see a Renault enthusiast in Ireland :)There has been some discussion on this forum before about how a lot of excellent tat is ending up in Ireland. Now ye know who has been buying up all the Renners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseflakes Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 In the last few years I have advertised an R14, R12 and R16 for sale (I say 'sale', but they were pretty much for free in fact) - all enquiries (bar the one from Reg!) came from Ireland. It's great that there are people with time, space and enthusiasm for these cars.(Note: change of avatar in line with current climate of Renner love) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD3 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Also, a nice UK reg 18 Turbo has been spotted in a main Renault dealer here - another one for John's collection? Info herehttp://www.octane.ie/forum/showthread.p ... 198&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENOMAD Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 i DID own that 18 Turbo last year---could not get it running right. Sold it to New Ross,Wexford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseflakes Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 18 Turbo got me thinking. I trot this out from time to time - had a look and it's still being advertised. Recently MOT'd so it can't be too bad surely?Fuego Turbo STILL for sale in Cheltenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd been any longer stating my intentions I could well have been pipped by an Irishman (it's an epidemic! ). As it was Mr Flakes passed me the guy's phone number on the understanding that if I should ever get rid......I'd be interested to know whether Mr Darmody managed to find another R14 of his own (he had had one in his 'yoof'). I hope he manages / has managed to find one. I still love mine so it won't be leaving these shores for the time being! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENOMAD Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 So the chances of picking up number 14 are slim????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRegieRitmo Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 So the chances of picking up number 14 are slim????? The chances are always slim anyway, I saw two advertised in the space of 5 years, the first one in 1999 I was 16, had no money & couldn't drive. The second came in 2004 when I was 22, had been driving for a couple of years & was prepared to sell my existing car to make way for this one that became mine. I know where a resto project R14 probably is, it depends how desperate you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENOMAD Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Sorry, but not that desperate-----I always look for the best I can find, rather than a resto. job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact that's probably an underestimate, the last time I can definitely remember seeing one was in 1989! When I spent several weeks in France in the early-mid nineties I don't recall seeing any there either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Thought I'd tag this R4 for sale on to the Renault thread. I often have a look at this guy's stock as sometimes he has some nice gear. Looks a lot of money in my book though. Oh, and it's on Guernsey by the way.  http://www.networkci.net/classiccars/vi ... m/car/318/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2_craig Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 £3495 and they haven't even fitted RHD headlamps. How rubbish of Guernsey to register it like that (Jersey wouldn't dream of letting something in with tape to deflect the beams ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross_K Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 £3495. Plus VAT! He's having a laugh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Â The similarity has just dawned on me:Â Â Incidentally, I thought they made the Renner 4 way beyond 1990? In some former Iron Curtain place I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Although not cheap, he's got a few nice motors for sale. Had this, but is now listed as sold:  Edited to add they even have Future-shite available:  http://www.networkci.net/classiccars/vi ... m/car/310/ Cheers, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 That's the same fella who was selling a very rusty Chrysler 2-Litre a year or so back, red on a T-plate. Never noticed that garage while I was in Guernsey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
