I dont really Gel with the, well, tacky interior etc, but fuck yeah at the Chevy V8! I would love to dress that back to stock, be like @mat_the_cat's Stella, but in Taxi form :) 

 

EDIT: I realise that being from 1990, means its one of the last with drum brakes all round, I bet thats fun with a 5.7L V8 in the front!

I recon someone has done this properly as it doesn’t have the sticky in weird offset wheels that these taxis normally have, infact I would go as far to say those wheels look like they are possibly from an early Jag xj6 so this may have a jaguar IRS and IFS underneath

dont say things like that! being a 1990 example means it will be new enough to have a wheel chair ramp and everything!

@MrsJuular buy it and save me from temptation LOL

although thinking about it some more, @goosey only the Fairway Driver FX4's have the weird Taxi wheels, pre Fairwair Driver FX4's like that V8 one normally had disk wheels like so

so there is a chance it may well be stock underneath maybe? LOL

As spotted by @trigger in 2011. @Mat.T still keen?! Shame it's been painted by Mr Wonder.

 It has 4 almost new tyres not remoulds at a cost of £280 the spare is good.

are remoulds even still a thing for non-lorry tyres?! I mean I know Taxis often run on some form of comercial tyre but even so?

I have been asked about the registration plate off plenty of women and similar are selling online for for around the £280 mark

someone able to translate why DK59AWN would be appealing to the ladies? maybe if Donkey Kong had 59 Awnings to sell....

This could be a good buy if it stays under two grand, it looks to be quite good. A 1.3L is quite rare although unlike some I don’t agree that rarity is desirable. I always thought a 1.3 is underpowered and have never driven one but did follow one through Andorra on the way home from Gibraltar and it managed the hills very well and kept a steady 80 mph.

I love this quote from the advert: THIS CAR IS HISTORIC REGISTERED UNIQUE NUMBER PLATE 

If the registration is not unique then you have a problem!

Looks solid in all the photos and interior looks nice.

If you had a big fuck off field it'd be worth spending £2,595 buying this 'just because'

If you have a time machine and set it to 37 years ago, you could go to Dennis's retirement do for a piss-up and some skittles.

Renault 20, rare beast!

Such a shame that they are rare because they were really bloody good and very popular.
