M'coli 6,095 Report post 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 Report post 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 Report post 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

wuvvum 27,156 Report post 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

michiel 123 Report post 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 13,861 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

face 1,825 Report post 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
