@dome, make sure you stay off the booze tonight - here's another modern diesel Renault with a floppy clutch pedal going cheap.  Bit of a trek from you mind.

Its okay this one is closer although it's the wipers rather than the clutch that's pumped.

Don't fancy trying to fix the wipers on one of those - they're a separate motor on each wiper controlled by a computer, rather than a traditional linkage.  This can lead to amusing* issues like when the passenger side wiper on mine decided to stop at the top of its sweep for a bit - the driver's side carried on going on its own for a few sweeps until the passenger side rejoined the party.  I don't relish the thought of trying to chase down the cause of a total failure.

I love the period 1970's-1980's pressed metal plates on that

you really dont often see vintage retro-reflective on something that old with a non suffix mark and I love it :) 

(but you just know they will probably be the first thing to get binned off when it gets restored/recommissioned)

Why was that the solution ? What additional requirement, above, must clear water and ice and bird shit off as much as the screen as possible, drove such pointless complexity.

Seller seems to have a good sense of humour too, and his description makes reference to Jalopy...

Well I don't think that they are "getting rare"[er] than they were 20 years ago - in fact the increase in value has probably significantly slowed the rate of attrition.

Quite a few for sale at the moment - not a particularly great steer and this one will probably need many ££'s and a large chunk of time. Frankly there are better things to do than live in the 50's...I had one years ago when they were £50 and nobody cared . The almost contemporary Audax Minx is a much better car if you fancy something from the 50's.
