Le Dix Neuf Blanc - 1991 Renault 19 16v Cabriolet

[prab]

Afternoon folks,

 

Picked this awesome piece of kit up from a friend and fellow Retro-Renault member jr19.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Short term plans are:

 

Give it a full service and change the pads

Do some remedial rust repair

Few minor tweeks, without changing the look

 

Long term plans

 

Respray

New Hood

Possibly a williams engine or bottom end

Nice to see folk taking an interest in these. Some decent number plates would help it for a start!

[EssDeeWon]

Thats nice I would happy cane it across France in that. You may get grief off the rozzers with those plates in the incorrect font.

My mate had a blue 16v one with gold alloys (can't remember what they were called). I love them.

[Mr Lobster]

That looks very nice, I'd love a decent R19.

[HMC]

Fabulous!!

 

Rare and in a superb coulour, suits it perfectly!

[Partridge]

Nice one Prab. But a full respray, really? The paint looks alright in the pictures.

I agree. The Faux-Frog ones want cutting up into small pieces and thrown in the bin.

Wank plates aside, that looks a pretty nice way to travel from customer to customers house whilst cutting their hair.

[Jim Bergerac]

That's ace. Love 19 Cabriolets and that one looks fab in that spec.

[Ghosty]

My mate had a blue 16v one with gold alloys (can't remember what they were called). I love them.

Sounds like it'd be a 19 Williams, if that exists. Could have been a 19 with Clio Williams wheels, equally.

[ruffgeezer]

I know where there is one of these for sale, in need of a bit of work., should anyone else fancy a bit of a french tickle.

[Spiny Norman]

Nice one, love the Alpine-a-like wheels.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Me, I hatez me all non standard and personalised plates, me, but those ones aren't too goppingly terrible.  I like the jolie laide aspect of the car. 

[Station]

It was a Renault 19 Chamade!

[prab]

My mate had a blue 16v one with gold alloys (can't remember what they were called). I love them.

My mate owns that chammade now and its on white williams wheels, the gold wheels are on a red hatch

[prab]

Nice one Prab. But a full respray, really? The paint looks alright in the pictures.

Yeah few scratches, arches have some bubbling, paint chips and little rust bits here and there, also the plates are going, getting some legal ones ordered

Only on Deals on Wheels!

 

OP, nice to see a 19 16v in any flavour, although tin tops are my favourite. Youts looks like it has been well cared for.

 

A mate had a 1.4 RT 5dr and we made it into a multi coloured 16v 'replica'. Then he bought (what seemed then to be) a terminally knackered, red ph1 16V, with a polystyrene block, posing as the O/S window regulator, amongst other quality bodges.

 

Prepare for Dubber wankers to gawp like yokels at your lovely Turbines!

[Lord Sterling]

That looks nice. I really like these Renaults. I LOVE those alloys.

[bigroverfan]

looks very nice, the phaze 1 clio 16v alloys really suit it.

always fancied one of these.

[HillmanImp]

I quite like those plates on that. I was looking on my phone and thought it was forrin'. Was supeised to see it was RHD and then looked again.

 

Looks like a nice buy.

[overrun]

^ I thought it was French, as well.

[prab]

Cheers for the kind words guys, also I knew there was going to be a hair dresser comment!

Also these Speedline Turbines were standard fitment on phase 1 19 cabriolets too

[nigel bickle]

Looks alright Prab, although I wouldn't have climbed over the 25T to get to it.

 

Are your clippers sharp? No2  please, mate when you've a spare mo.  Suspect  you'll be inundated.

 

(Be nice when the sun finally shines!)

Hi Nigel,

 

for me to get the 25 up to a nice standard would of cost me too much, I wanted to make it immaculate. I will source a left hooker at some point, there are some tidy examples on the continent!

[prab]

Apologies for the lack of updates guys, i've made some progress i'll post some pics up over the course of the weekend, also picking another 25 up in a few weeks time!

[Luckythirteen]

Looking forward to the pics...the 19 ragtop is a very lovely thing, even in white.

 

Reminds me, must get back on Retro Renault...I'll look out for it over there!

[Spiny Norman]

The 19 Cab's nice if you like that kinda thing, but a Monaco is far more my style. Seen Luke's (R9UKE) vid of it, much wantage.

[Noel Tidybeard]

would you by any chance be able to take a pic of the fuse/relay box of your renner 19- i need to find a headlight relay as i want to put 16v lights on my rni

The valver lights should plug and play, the standard h4 plugs into the fual beam lamp and is split internally over the two bulbs
