(havent posted pics of my collection less than 15yrs old as stiil every day cars)

very sadly unable to find my albums going back 30 years,

as over the years since i passed my test in a £27 R10

i have actually had on the road at least one of the following 4,5,6,7,8,9,10.11,12 14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,25,30, trafics and master

shame most of them went rusty :(

The phase 1 19 Turbo diesel is certainly rare, I only ever saw 3 or 4 of them even when they were new. Does it have GTS or TSE interior trim (looking at your pic the headrests look like TSE ones)

Re: the Renault 20, there is a fella here in Ireland selling 3 Renault 20s and is threatening to crush them by the end of the month if they don't sell. Now we've all come across the "I'll crush it, I really will" sales tactic on ebay before so it's hard to know. Two of the 20s are said to be in good condition with the other one being possibly a spares only car.

Looks like an a 1400 Sierra engine in the back of an R8/R10? Is the lump from an R5, or even a Volvo 340? Carb looks quite small?

 

Mine (R11-sourced) looked like that at least. :)

What can I say? I'm overwhelmed! :D I'm just wondering what you might have offered if I'd got the questions completely right! (though, if you'd offered a ride in the 16TX-engined R4 buggy, I'd have declined it for reasons of underpant preservation)Thanks Paul - a very grateful PM has been sent!
