trigger 27,208 Posted May 23, 2013 We have a winner!! I didn't know there was even any left, what's the story behind it Sam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M'coli 6,106 Posted May 23, 2013 Wow. Just wow. The last time i saw one of these - the only time I've seen one of these - was at the Gallowgate auctions in Glasgow, about 1991. Autoshite is now complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Glover 734 Posted May 23, 2013 Its acquisition it was almost disappointingly easy. I've been looking for one in a desultory sort of way for at least five years, with no promising leads at all. Then, during a rare visit to the Renault Owners Club group on Twitbook, I spotted it lurking in an Northern Irish barn behind a Renault 12TS. The chap that posted the picture sent me the owner's phone number. He turned out to be a thoroughly good egg - and a Dacia pervert to boot. He agreed to sell it, and was even so good as to arrange transport to my door. It promises to be a pretty easy resto project - far more so than the Sport in front of it in the queue. Next, I think a Liberta should be imported. Girls will be impressed by its elegance and fiability... Only driving this model you will find full satisfaction!

RedSparrow 876 Posted May 23, 2013 I know there was a shitload of variants on the basic model but I've never seen that Liberta monstrosity before! Quality advert there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warren t claim 10,360 Posted May 23, 2013 Will you be towing it to Bromley behind a Lonsdale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mash 60 Posted May 23, 2013 Wow a genuine actual bonafide UK Denem!! Amazing find, well done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wuvvum 29,423 Posted May 23, 2013 Wow. When I clicked on this thread I was expecting to see a left-hooker, which would have been impressive enough. Bun a jen-you-whine RHD UK market Denem is something else again. I think you've just won Autoshite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CYANIDE STEVE 745 Posted May 23, 2013 I feel slightly outshited! Well done Sam. That's fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicksilver 5,677 Posted May 23, 2013 Just WOW, that thing is autoshite personified. I don't know what else to say so I'll just grovel in awe of your chod-finding skills Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skattrd 7,070 Posted May 23, 2013 Dacia Denem, awesome. The Liberta, I've never heard of before but must say it looks spectacularly shite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michiel 123 Posted May 23, 2013 Ah, another well-translatored advertisingment brochure. There's a 1289, 1397 and 1600 'cmc' engine, so let's call this elegantly architectured carriage the 1325... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purplebargeken 14,330 Posted May 23, 2013 Oh Sam, that almost looks mundane compared to your usual fare. That C pillar curve looks 'propah shite' and reminds me of something but not sure what. You are however making me yearn for something eastern european/steel curtain-like. Swap ya something for a nice blue Daf 66. Ah, I see the problem with that. Damn.

Mash 60 Posted May 23, 2013 That C pillar curve looks 'propah shite' and reminds me of something but not sure what. Renault 12 perhaps......??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
face 2,139 Posted May 23, 2013 I am not sure what is the most impressive - the uber-rare vehicle or those utterly brillianterrible advertisments. Bravo all round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shep Shepherd 3,120 Posted May 23, 2013 I wonder if the Liberta was ever sold in English-speaking countries? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
