200 miles? I wish... 🥴 My handbrake ratchet is a bit dodgy as well. Only cars I've previously experienced that on were the two Austin A35s.

I had one as a hire car in Chile back in 2011. Samsung SM3 (or a Renault Scala or a Nissan Sunny or a Nissan Almera Classic). In the shade by Tayne, on Flickr The Hire Car by Tayne, on Flickr

Also, not dented enough to be RM! 😀

I was going to say that maybe a cross brace or two to the fence and shed wouldn't go amiss - may prolong the life of the structure if it isn't allowed to flex so much? IANAJoiner, though.

Aye true, I know it makes sod all difference but it's just one of those nitpicky things that stands out to me 😅

I'm now sat here silently hoping that there is a Renault dealership called Wivelsfields in Baldock to restore equilibrium to the cosmos.

I'm sure one past gf's transport was a witch's broom

My wife would love that for her birthday

It is a great car when you ignore it's build quality ha. And no, no further discussions really, the ad was marked as sold subject to contract so I assume that's the end of it for the time being.

I imagine it was done when they were cheap as chips & before the Swedes started buying up old American cars.

Oddly I was looking at the same photos a few days ago!

Pretty sure the GV plate could’ve been issued to any Sussex based Renner dealer but I’ll have a look to see if the original service book is there. The plates aren’t original sadly so can’t tel from those. If it’s a really local car then it possibly came from Tates in Newhaven, less than a mile from where it’s currently parked up!

Particularly like the alfa it has to be said. Incidentally - did the agent call you? Hats off to him/her if they did.

It wouldn't be out out of place in one of Gerry Anderson's shows!

When/where is it?

It was off the road for best part of 15 years which no doubt helped!

I've been using google images for the most part Grogee............i can choose an esprit 912 or an excel 912, doesn't matter, both the same. Only difference is if you've got air con and the compressor sits down to the right hand side, tucked underneath the exhaust manifold. Mine doesn't have A/C so it's irrelevant. Tomorrow night I'm going to get it to the point it'll be ready to start, subject to my 'man' checking it all over, on Friday. If he can't come over fri it'll be the weekend to fire her up. Then it's parts ordering next week. Big jobs to do are the passenger door (frame is in the house by the boiler staying dry and out of the way) and then it's lots of finnicky jobs (rear dampers - no big deal but still, time consuming) and seat belt stay (could potentially be a nightmare on one side but will prep with copious amounts of penetration oil etc etc. Needs tyres and a wheel refurb (x4 ) but .......might try to do that at home...........we'll see. I've not pulled the trigger on tyres yet as I'm still not happy with not being able to buy the OE size (215 50 15) because tres cher. But..........is there an alternative (track day tyres?)..........there are alternatives but I'm just trying to envisage when I'm going to be using the car..........and for the most part I'm going to only drive her in the dry............does that make it possible to go down the track day tyre route (where 215 50 15 is available, if you're lucky). We'll see. I'll worry about that once the door is back on.

Cheers - the first thing I will be looking for is an interior rear view mirror

I don't usually wander over here and don't know if this has been posted before but think it suits the thread.

That's all very nice BUT I don't know how you keep your house so tidy 😮 My house is all boxes within boxes and will probably be featured on TV in the series on hoarders named HOUSE CLEARANCES FOR TWATS
