So, if anyone is interested in seeing my R14 it will be at the festival of the unexceptional on 29th July....if it makes it of course. 

I saw it, brother papped it and still hasn’t shared any FOTU snaps with me the sod!

R14 is the only suitcase engined car I haven’t driven.

I'm still kicking myself I didn't buy this.  OK it was 19 years ago at Saltash Car Auctions but was pretty amazing to see one even then.  Presumably long gone now.

@theorganist used to have a LHD one many years ago.

This was a spectacular sight at the FotU, after me announcing on a post on Facebook that I didn't know of any RHD ones left this comes along and makes me look a twat!

More photos of that white TS on Facebook

Off to Holland next week to pick up the final NOS panels, doors, sills (just in case) and brightwork.

Then the full resto will begin

[MattJY]

Here are the final panels to rebody the R14, picked up from Holland. I don’t need them all but what the hell:

Rear panel:

Front inner wings:

The other side rear quarter I was missing:

Both sills:

Headlight buckets,  front slam and lower gravel guards:

Front and rear bumpers in correct dark grey:

2 doors I was missing and 1 spare skin:

Plus a load of smaller parts, badges, grill chrome, all NOS

I'm sure you can flog the bits you don't need to help another Renault 14 owner keep theirs on the road.

 

Oh, wait.

Well to the continent maybe. I may be buying a French TS, I may shove all the GTL parts back in it and offer it for sale???

This one needs a few parts….   https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/206625619073173

A Dublin reg 14 was on the front cover of Auto Ireland , however the car is lhd and the reg belongs to a Renault 12, legend has it someone from the Irish distributor attending the press launch in  France fitted the plates to use for advertising back in Ireland
