Cavcraft Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 1988 Renault 50 Series, Facebook Market Place. I've owned this since 2018 and selling as I've got to many projects on the go. It's a great project for someone so Needs finishing. It's fitted with a 4ltr perkins diesel and 5 speed manual. which starts, runs, it would however have to be removed on a trailer or similar. Needs Interior and paint. I've got the paint. If you want it red. There's to much to list about this truck, but if your interested contact me for more information.' grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.E Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 £2k for this? Even if the engine isn't the original one and the car is a project, that seems an absolute bargain... https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1478923 garethj, LT84, LightBulbFun and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwave Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 323 V6... very short MOT though, I think the seller meant to say 'weeks' rather than 'months'. Also has a few advisories for grot... could be a bit of a gamble, this one. Worth it? Quite possibly. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115468175383 egg, RoverFolkUs, J W Pepper and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to catch the bus to work about 20 years ago which involved going down a short stretch (a mile or so) of the A47. When the bus was one of these, the driver would floor it up the slip road, an almighty whirring noise would start up from the back of the bus and we'd just about have hit 45 before it was time to brake for the roundabout. When the bus was a Volvo B10, the driver would floor it up the slip road, the engine would growl for a few seconds and we'd be doing 50 before we even hit the main carriageway.

There was one in the yard that I used to keep my bus in that had been converted to a camper. The front door had been replaced with white upvc double doors that you would normally find on a conservatory. That is all I can remember. It looked bloody awful. Obviously because Dart, but it looked even worse than a normal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it a few times when I've needed the money and the hand-wringers have gone 4K Walter Mitty on me. Sorry to invoke the sierraman clause, but if a bottom book car is in the way and everyone's taking the piss, the scrap man turns up on time and pays cash. A lack of COD means, if true, that it could be put back on the road, but it may well have been craned/strapped to get it up on high. If it was a J reg, then it of course HAS TO BE SAVED.

As a contractor I wasn't eligible but LOADS of people bought them, mainly in Aspen Green I think. Possibly the facelift bug-eye lights one, I can't remember.
