I will only be requiring one of them so PM me and Ill take your details then pass on the ones I don't want to you when I have made a decision: All RHD UK cars: 1. 1981 White 1.2 TL perfect 28k miles2. 1981 Blue 1.2 TL dry stored for decades but the cleanest shell I have ever seen, except the door bottoms that have gone. 26k miles3. 1982 1.4 TS White with red interior, goosed I think4. 1983 1.4 TS Burgundy Regency (Sunroof) with Tan interior, rust free but someone else's mothballed restoration, requires putting back to work and a full respray oh wow how did ya manage to pull that off? and while your at it, there aint any Model 70 invacars sitting in your time machine is there?
Guest MattJY Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 It just means turning over a lot of stones. I have done this over the past 4 years and now the leads are coming good. Just goes to show....keep at it, get your needs out there on the net and wait....and wait...and wait! Datsuncog, LightBulbFun, Burnside and 1 other 4
wuvvum Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Fuck a duck. Awaiting further details with much anticipation... LightBulbFun 1
skattrd Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Decide which one you want for yourself, then pass on the details of the others on here.If they're not too expensive/crusty I'd be surprised if they weren't snapped up. I'd love one, but lack of indoor storage means I'd best not, as they rust worse than my Beta.
RobT Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Just goes to show what's hidden out there if you put in some legwork. So it's number 1 or 2 unless you're feeling brave...?
Guest MattJY Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 2 or 4 is my preferred. Just negotiating with the owners...this is proving not to be a simple task either. 2, I have been given a price I am happy with but he's not sure he wants to sell. 4, no price given and again, not sure he wants to sell. Well, they do want to sell, they are just horder types and have both agreed they need to get rid but its never straight forward. 4 is local and a TS with the right colour interior, 2 is in a different (UK) country and will take some logistics to go get it.

barefoot Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I'd just like to add at this point, that I've driven a 1200 TL & a 1360 TS and whilst there is a marked difference in performance between the two cars, my quality of life would be no worse if I never, ever drove another one of either flavour. I did used to like the diamondy headlining though if you've a picture. Junkman and Eddie Honda 2
HMC Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I last saw one of these in the wild in Leeds, summer 2002. Foreign exchange student’s car. PIXXX pls thanx
Split_Pin Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Not yet till the deal is done.HOW NO? mk2_craig 1
mk2_craig Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Ooh embarrassment of Renner 14 riches. Watching with much interest
wuvvum Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I am also mucho interested, depending on prices etc. Wanted a 14 since I had a poke around one when I was about 10 and was amazed how modern it looked for a (then) 12-year-old car. Probably not in the goosed one though - I haven't got the wherewithal to take on a rotten Poire.
In The Pit Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 2. 1981 Blue 1.2 TL dry stored for decades but the cleanest shell I have ever seen, except the door bottoms that have gone. 26k miles Is that the one that was photographed in a shed somewhere in Scotland that disappeared shorty after the photo was taken and feared scrapped by most? If so would be great to know that it's survived. (your comment about being in a different part of the UK to you hints it could be). The car in question : Also re the 4th car its nice to know another special edition Regency survives other than the carcass that was bravely dragged from a farmers field a few years ago.

Volksy Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I wonder if one is possibly from the chap who used to be a prolific poster on here, who disappeared when he discovered females.

In The Pit Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I wonder if one is possibly from the chap who used to be a prolific poster on here, who disappeared when he discovered females.I don't think so as if I remember correctly his was in a dark metallic grey which I thought really suited the car, I think it was an S reg. If it wasn't him then someone had one on here like that years ago.
Split_Pin Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 2D1DACA4-5BDB-4205-A685-69EE32F4455F.jpegMe too, reallyb I do.

dollywobbler Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 The chap who sold me my camouflage Dyane has a French R14 for sale right now, for £1250. This is also £1250, or he'll do a deal on both for £2000. www.facebook.com/French-Classic-Automotive-392045208231089 Dick Cheeseburger, Skizzer, Uncle Jimmy and 5 others 8
