Sold Safrane, so good? Now needs new home for £250 shiter price

[barefoot]

I don't suppose anyone has Safrane RN wheel trims?

How many are you after?

[bramz7]

How many are you after?

Ideally 4. I appreciate even 1 would be a tall ask though.

[Brodders]

Laguna II wheel trims don't look too terrible.

 

 

However I haven't been able to find any Safrane ones for over a month.

[Hertz]

Bloody hell, I thought that was the Lovejoy Safrane until you pointed out it wasn't.

 

 

Being a Birmingham registered plate I think this would have orignally come from the big Renault dealership in Digbeth, Birmingham.

 

Yes Renault Birmingham I'm pretty sure. An Alpine A610 is 6 cars out from your lovely Safrane.

I went to the '92 Motor Show too. The last one I went to. I couldn't remember the Safrane but I remember the Toyota Camry estate with it's twin rear wipers.

 

The 1992 Motor Show was the first and only one I went to*. Apart from the Safrane, the only thing I vividly remember about the show was being given a demonstration of the Mondeo Gold stereo system on the Ford stand using Peter Gabriel's then latest album. Oddly, no actual Mondeos were on the company's stand.

 

 

*However, I've been back to the NEC several times since then, mainly for Crufts *wag*

Nice motors in general, and comfy...For me though I just far, far prefer the styling both inside and out of the R25 that came before it - especially in Monaco spec...

Yeah. Not overly happy with it but impending career change means the need for a cheap daily again. Sigh. No room to store this either.

 

£250 to a shiter.

[eddyramrod]

Bargain.  Someone grab it!

[bramz7]

Yeah so as titled.

 

I'll drive it to the buyer, for fuel cost and ticket home.

[SRi05]

Oh boy that's a lovely big thing. I love the interior

[beko1987]

Looks like you need the money, look at the state of your trousers!

 

[bramz7]

Finally someone made that joke. I knew it was coming.....

[twosmoke300]

Didn't I comment on them a page back ?

[twosmoke300]

Lovely car , now go and buy some new jeans ! Have you been loading small bale hay all summer with those or what ?

 

Yup I did

[beko1987]

Didn't I comment on them a page back ?

Apologies if you did, I haven't been reading tonight yet!

[bramz7]

Sold STC

[doubleyeller]

Sold STC

A phrase rather synonymous with used Safrane sales!

[cpjitservices]

Very nice indeed but its not a Savanna 

[holbeck]

Thank god it's sold, domestic negotiations had begun in our house - Mrs h had got to eye-rolling stage.

 

I hope it's staying in the fold

[bramz7]

It is, but I'll let the buyer reveal themselves in due course, if they so wish.

 

I haven't bought a replacement yet but am strongly considering the 418GSD Turbo on Gumtree....

[uk_senator]

Oh, I saw this this morning, thought of you Bramz:

It was me that bought it. Its an absolute dream to drive too. Cheers Bramz

Glad you're liking it!

 

I think I'd snap at another Safrane, especially a 2.5 diesel.

[Supernaut]

Mega bargain! That's a hell of a lot of car for £250!

 

I actually had a slight hankering for it, but I'm up in the frozen wastelands and have nowhere to park another car. Pipe dream...

[Johnreno]

I have owned various Clio's from 96-2002 but the Safrane is in a different league. I work for BMW so i drive their cars daily and it even shames some of them.  

[twosmoke300]

Where about are you again ? Think I've sold my Audi 80 and may be looking for a wbod

[Datsuncog]

Ooh... one day I'll have one of these! Have had a strong feeling of wantage for a Series 1 Safrane for a while, but reading through this thread has turned it into a raging horn. Looks like a cracking example of a much overlooked beauty, and being an RN model actually appeals to me more. Had I not recently picked up a Phase 1 Laguna then I could well have been very tempted. But if this one's ever needing re-homed... should the planets align, I'd be very interested.

[Partridge]

£250 you say? Safrane you say? Trying very hard to convince myself that my 405 doesn't need a playmate.

[bramz7]

Ah sorry all! I forgot to make this as sold.

 

Johnreno above bought it.
