Shit-the-bed, how clean is that? Amazing spot; I can only assume that's it's not been near rain or salt for 99.9% of its life. The first ever turbocharged car I drove was an early Renner 18 turbo 'loon, and I was 18. The gaffer at the garage where I was weekend grease monkey told me to use it to pop to the local motor factors. I almost crashed the bloody thing when boost kicked in and I was halfway past the car I was over taking (in a 30 zone). The funniest part was that my daily was a '69 Morris Minor, which was a little sedate in contrast.

Any more photos to show of it?

No more pics! Public street! A freak photographing a random car gets rather strange looks from folk!!

I was well impressed with it. Nearside was pretty mint. Offside had two touch up repairs, but they were only adding to the character.

[Faker]

Now. Funny thing is.. I can remember these things wearing chrome bumpers and having three stud wheels!
