theorganist Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 There was definitely a thread a few years back where some hero pulled one out of a field, think there was more field on the inside than the outside and it more or less collapsed as they pulled it out. He did reckon he would fix it. Got to say this is sounding a tad "Hendrys Escort", I appreciate wanting the car you had before but surely it's better to get 90% there in a LHD one rather than never actually get one? It was Mr Bickle, unless there was one I missed, There was a gold and a blue one which were in a field in Gloucestershire (with a brown Maxi IIRC). I think he decided the Gold one was the worse of the two and was going to use it for spares. I agree with your comment about wanting the car you had before, even if you sprayed it and put in the correct interior and it looked like what you had before, it still wouldn't be what you had before. Surely any 14 would be enough. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theorganist Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Traders should be easier to deal with, if you do speak to him I would be interested in the 25 turbo or the small boot 104 PeugeotHave sent them a Facebook message in English and translated into French, well first Filipino as I selected the wrong language (I thought it didn't look like any French I learnt at school)! I mentioned the 25 and 104, will let you know if he responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theorganist Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That is two I didn't know about. That red one I can't imagine was saveable I would hate to see what it was like underneath. Love to know about the white TS which Trigger mentioned. that looks like the one around Stourbridge I used to see. Would love to hear more about it.

theorganist Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEsnn5q8JNk Great promotional video from when it first came to Britain, very much of it's time, i.e. fun. Not this stylised rubbish you get now when marketing a modern car is portrayed as some kind of fashion accessory with some vague subliminal message pandering to some inner spirit or just your ego!

theorganist Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Looking at that 14 I would be very surprised if it was viable, it would have needed several new panels and the interior was ruined Unless some how it was reasonably solid underneath (which I would be shocked by) it would I would think be only suitable for mechanical spares. Shame as it was the last surviving Regency model as far as I know. I would love to be proved wrong, however. Best of luck. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need new front panels at least, the doors might be saveable, would be interested to see how bad the rust in the rear quarters is. I wonder what happened to it. I guess it wouldn't be impossible but would be a very brave restoration. I remember the epic Alpine thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmBongo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 My dad bought a hideous green Renault 14 back in the 80's. It reeked of damp and had numerous faults. Piece of shit, so it was. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakey79 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Well my dad bought a Renault 14 tl in the early 90s... After selling his Audi coupe, we had this Renault, and well it was yellow and had a black strip down the side so was named the wasp mobile. I rode my bike to Cubs instead Of getting dropped off in it, languished on our drive for 3 years due to rot, was then offered to me at the age of 16.. Now don't twat me for this, but I swapped it for a Carrera Krakatoa bicycle, even now I think I got the better deal.. ChinaTom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleyeller Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I suppose this is all a bit like somebody in 2042 suddenly setting their heart on an original UK Cityrover. Did they even sell many R14s in the UK? My feeling is that they were very very rare even when current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
