I'd love a Fuego, but ideally not one that induced epilepsy every time I saw the interior.

This is being debated on the VOC forum, along with how best to polish a sill (IT MUST BE DONE PROPERLY I KNOW THE BEST WAY BECAUSE IVE WON CAR SHOW'S) and how to make a pro touring car with an LS1 look vaguely like Amazon while ignoring the thousands of dollars' worth of orders waiting to be dispatched from your warehouse. 

 

It's a really bad chop, by all accounts - as in 'Don't take any bumps quickly because the car will shake itself into oblivion' bad.

Seat covers are removable. Also, you have no eyes in your arse.

Ludicrously cheap Frégate with OMGHGF, just over the Channel.  If that is the correct price on the ad, I'm trying to think of reasons why I shouldn't hire a trailer and head for Dover at the weekend.

I love the google translate translation of the ad:

 

Renault frigate Admiral kind; motor 12 horses 2L2 displacement, 6 seats (3 front, 3 rear) in its own juice, head gasket repair (parts are still easily in Melun retro passion or auto4a ...); j 'rode daily with it a few years ago but I have the store without rolling suite has health concerns. the body and the chassis are healthy and therefore a good basis for restoration, while the braking system has been revised.

Make offer.

Lovely - if it was a year younger it would have the much nicer chrome bumpers though - I know this having spend a lot of my childhood in a V reg' 1500 Allegro.

 

Which brings me to a question that perhaps one of m'learned friends on here can answer - is this a standard speaker install in an Allegro 3?

The Allegro 2 had a big mono speaker in the dash under the radio. This looks a bit aftermarket, but I'm not sure.

 

That picture also reminds me that my dad unscrewed the door lock pop-up things from ours, leaving behind just a coarse screw-thread that finished almost flush with the door. His reasoning was that the plastic bit - with it's miniscule lip - would be easy for a thief to put a coat hanger or similar around if they prised the window open a bit, and thus they could easily be away with the car. No-one stole the Allegro in the six years or so it took to rust away, so it must have worked.

Gearbox is a TH400, which is as many quid as the designation implies, if you know where to shop.

However, I can rebuild those literally blindfolded and would engage in a bet for that.

I've afeeling gettting that back on the road might not be quite as simple as putting a new box in it.
