I'm not sure if I want to sell this, so I'll give it a week and see what happens, truth is I fancy a 1980's Golf Cabriolet.
It's a 1990 H reg Renault 5 5 door automatic 1.4 95,000 miles.
If you check it on the DVLA it will show up as registered in 1991, however it spent the first year of its life over on Jersey and as such this shows on th V5 in the special notes section as previously registered overseas, I've gota folder with some receipts, and some paperwork with the old jersey reg and dealer info.
MOT is due at the end of November, it did fail the last one on emissions, but that was sorted and the only advisory it has is for an oil leak, you can check all this on the www.gov.uk/check-mot-history website. Tax costs £145 for 12 months, or by direct debit £12.65 a month.
A few weeks ago it has new front discs and pads and rear wheel cylinders plus new brake fluid, cost just over £200 and last year the steering column bushes were renewed, I have changed the oil & filter, plugs, leads, air filter and wipers about 4 months ago and I changed the battery and a new rotor arm in February.
I applied an awesome backflash sticker (purchased from a guy on here) and also bought an original Renault early style grille which took ages to find.
some bad bits:- It's red, the heater motor squeals a bit but blows air around, the brakes are new but a bit spongy, there are a couple of rust spots at the back of the sills, nothing major and a sand down bit of kurust and paint would improve it, the engine does make a bit of a tapping sound, but I've never had it looked at and the exhaust sounds a bit blowy.
It is 27 years old, so theres the odd little dent here and there.
After a good machine polish with some meguairs and some back to black it looks quite nice, I haven;t done this for the photos though
I'm happy enough to keep it, so I'm after £Not For Sale or near offers.
I'll get some more photos, Its currently wearing the older style front grille, but I have the original one too.
Come have a look and a test drive, I live in Gillingham, Kent ME7 close to Medway hospital.
