RENAULT 17 STILL WANTED

[RENOMAD]

just said i'd keep the thread alive------somebody PM me if they see one.ThanksJohn

[Hertz]

Never seen one for sale! Take it you have tried the Renault owners club etc?I know of a guy call Paul Godfrey who was selling some of his private collection of rare Renaults and Alpines have you tried him at all?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Absolutely nothing on Ebay France either. They must be almost extinct now. Used to see millions of then in France in the seventies as well as other French rightness - Pug 204 and 304, Ami 6 and 8 Cits plus DS19's and Renault 4's must have outnumbered cockroaches. Aah, the days when the French built proper cars, a long time ago now.

There's a 15 on Ebay Oz. Ratdat has a spare 15 he was planning on using for spares -he might sell.They'll be out there- just need to sniff them out.How big is the Finders fee?

[mr-reno-139]

[nigel bickle]

Yep and a softop , about an hour south of Paris. Looks nice too!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Thats class! Check the 'bollock supports' on those seats.

[Ross_K]

Some serious lighting going on there. The Mk1 Escort boys would be jealous...

[RENOMAD]

My 15 has those type seats actually.That 17 looks cool---nearly too cool Anybody speak French???

[Volksy]

yes

[nigel bickle]

Just use any one of the free translation services (I prefer SDL) -and offer money -that always talks!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I can speak french! PM me if you want me to ring someone up.Also have a french bank account so sending deposit payments etc can be easily done.

[nigel bickle]

Any one of us will translate for you. Looks too good to let pass by really.Got to be worth a nice weekend in Paris too!

[RENOMAD]

I dont really want another LHD ----already have the 16!!!

[nigel bickle]

Cant be that complicated a conversion -sure some of the Renault nuts (like me) on here can supply the necessary bits).After all -if I can get the bits to convert an early 60's Estafette....

[RENOMAD]

OK---I GIVE IN,,,,,,WOULD SOMEONE TRANSLATE THE TEXT ON THAT BLACK 17. IN MY MIND THE CAR IS A LITTLE OVERDONE,,BUT IT DOES LOOK GOOD!!!??

[Milford Cubicle]

Yeah, maybe if you switch off your caps lock. CHEERZ.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

INdividual selling R17 open-top, first reg 28/12/1978. Chassis no. 7666. 2 owners, known history, I have owned it since 1989. Shiny black paint, original, no body damage save for a few light scratches. US-style 'Le Car' repeater lights. Superb interior, 6 inch alloys. Just come out of the barn, needs work on brakes, exhaust and paint on the bonnet, selling cos not enough space. Price negotioable.

[RENOMAD]

I kept the caps on to MAKE A POINT!!!!!!!,,,i that I might be GIVING IN!!!

[RENOMAD]

I think I'll hang in there for a RHD.

[Hertz]

I know it's not a 17 but I spotted in this weeks classic car weekly a Renault 15 TL for sale. 1976 P reg in white only 17,000 miles looks mint. £2995 Not got any contact number sorry as I was getting the eye from the girl on the checkout.

[shaun1706]

Firstly, Hi all, some of you might know me from other forums.I know where there are at least 2 R17s, both RHD and both requiring loads of work but as far as I remember complete. think there are a couple of 15s there too in the same state. They are in a scrap yard near to me in Wrexham. Give David Kelly car dismantlers a call and try to speak with Dave, he is well into all things Renault and Jag.Cheers, Shaun

[Mr Lobster]

^ Very true! David Kelly cars is a very worthwhile trip if you need R12 / 15 / 17 bits. Not been for a few years but it was a proper old style scrapyard.They also had a Dacia Denem which makes it virtually unique in the UK

If she was giving you the eye, surely that would mean you were in there?! So I'm sure you could have got her number if you'd have asked for it!

[Adrian_pt]

I went to David Kelly's back in 2003 and saw some excellent stuff... Fiat 125, Wartburg Knight, Simcas, Mayflowers, and of course that glorious Denem among lots of 12/16s, and a whole load of ancient Jags... Marvellous.

No those days of me getting the eye are sadly over, more chins than a chinese address book!

 

What I was trying to say was she was giving me the eye as if to say "buy it or f$ck off cheap skate"

 

Looks like our friend Renomad is on the case though so don't worry

 

Q: Hi there, Was this car owned by a man in Wales called MR.HOFAZ (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT)?Was ADVERTISED IN RENAULT CLASSIC CAR CLUB. I am in Ireland and I am very interested,as I have a 15,16 18 also. 05-Sep-08

A: Hi there John, yes this was Omar Hofayz R17 he sold when he was moving abroad and it was in the Club magazine. I drove it back from south wales and knew then it was something special. I am so glad you are interested as I want her to go to a Renault collector and not be modded or pimped I think they call it. Also I am not far from the ferry at Fleetwood to get her back to Ireland.Regards Tony

 

I'm tempted myself as it looks fantastic!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Thats defo renomad, you can tell by the completely random use of caPITALS AND LOwer CAse!!???#?

[RENOMAD]

iS ThaT wHy YOU are called Mr.BO11Ox?

[RENOMAD]

I dont think that I shall be able to afford it at the moment I'm afraid.She who shall remain nameless MADE me change her car about 3 weeks ago which made a rather large hole in the Renocoffers .Also I'm off Beaulieu next weekend, though If I cancel Beaulieu and burn her new car,I just might be able.
