Just bought this shite off ebay

[Wal]

 

1986 Fuego Turbo

 

Comes with the original 14" alloys and steering wheel. In the process of trying to find a stock exhaust.

 

Just working out when I am gonna pick it up as I live on the Wirral and the car is in Devon, hopefully have it on Friday

[barefoot]

I'm happy to nip down & drive it back for you!

[dollywobbler]

Nice work! Looks great condition.

[Alexg]

Someone on here bought it! Excellent! I managed to buy a new Fuego Turbo exhaust system on ebay for 99p about 18 months ago when I needed one. Good luck, and I'm looking forward to more pictures!

[autofive]

wow

what a survivor - i dont see many of these on the road

I am currently on the hunt for a stock back box, nothin out there at the moment though

[Rocket88]

That's rather fetching. Were all the front grilles on those red and black?

[HillmanImp]

Just been looking at the listing. It's bloody lovely.

 

Great buy. Well worth the money.

[John F]

Une très bonne exemple d'automerde!

As Ive just said on RR, a lovely looking car you've got yourself.

Im chuffed is now in the 'family' so to speak.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

OMG, that's lovely.

 

My favourite Renault, these.

[michiel]

Superbe! Love those seats.

[TagoraSX]

Well done, that looks a beaut.

[trigger]

That is lovely!, I do like these having grown up opposite a Renault dealer in the 80's and watching them all come of the car transporters.

 

Are those rear lights standard?, They look a bit smoked to me?.

[Cavcraft]

Jeepers what a stunner! That'll be a right nice drive back and it's some distance that.

[theorganist]

Thats fantastic, nice one!!

 

My father will be jealous, he lusted over those throughout the eighties and early nineties!

[maxpower]

wow that is sweeeet

 

dashboard is awesome

[flat4alfa]

Dash gives fabulous memories of my old Fuego - but you've got a boost gauge!

 

Well worth the money. Clio wheel suits it.

I've always had a soft spot for the Fuego and I took a look at that listing too. There used to be a couple of them near to where I used to live and admired them back then. There’s just something about the curve of that rear screen which is so 'right'.

 

Great interior too! I much preferred these to the likes of the Capri. Looks in lovely nick for it's age too.

 

I must admit, whilst I like originality, those alloys don’t look too bad on them. Personally, I’d prefer to see the originals back on it, but those Clio ones really don’t look bad at all. I don’t recall smoked rear lights being something on any of them, but willing to stand corrected. Pah….just little personal niggles on what’s otherwise a real beauty. An excellent buy!

 

As a side note if you’re driving it back from Devon, it's very much worthwhile doing a detour over the original Severn Bridge (grin and bear the toll), then off through the Wye Valley / Forest Of Dean and then up the A49. I always do the reverse of that when I go down that way every year.

[55bloke]

That's an absolute stunner!! There's a bloke in Lancashire who specialises in Renault turbo bits, and he has a yard full of Fuegos. Not that far from you, really.

[Pete-M]

Ooooh, a Fuego! Cool!.

 

I had a GTX once... for about 20 minutes. I liked it.

[Shep Shepherd]

I like that. A lot.

 

Amongst other things, it looks like the perfect car to play Jean-Michel Jarre's music in

[catsinthewelder]

Thats lush

 

If you do take the A49 feel free to pop in for a cuppa at Ludlow, I live right next to it

[Mr_Bo11ox]

WaiT TIll ReNomAd see's That!!!!!111!????!!!!!

[Volksy]

 

 

Awesome car! Get used to people saying "Same rear screen as a Porsche you know!"

[boobydoo]

I'm sure the original wheels would have been very stylish! Get 'em on!

 

Looks a gorgeous car!! 10/10!!

[Wal]

Thanks for all your comments folks, hoping to get the car picked up Thursday, on a low loader coz I'm a lazy fecker

 

Original wheels are coming with the car and will be fitted.

 

I am interested to find out where this Renault place in Lancashire is, could do with a back box for it

[55bloke]

It's in Great Harwood, near Blackburn. It's called Renault Turbo Spares, run by a chap called John Tittrington.

[CIH]

Awesome. Please remove those awful Clio wheels forthwith.

Once I take delivery I'll be giving him a call, maybe do a deal on the current back box for a stock one?
