looks like you missed that Post from another Bristolian above Bruce, someone bought it last week?! I think you missed the bit where a guy from Bristol bought it last week to save it from being scrapped and is now selling it. Hence all the recent activity. |

Bruce, if you buy it as an Area 52 project then I have access to a huge amount of R4 spares - I'm sure deals could be done...

And yes i might get try and get it going, but with currently 39 cars and an e bay shop with over 2000 listing to look after, time has to be spent on looking after those, rather than something I saved from being weighed in. Getting some facts before cynical comments may be wiser. Jim, jdh Oooh, tetchy  If you look at the last sentence of my post, cynical though i can be, I appreciate that some people make an effort. Obviously I had no idea what had happened to this over the years. Genuinely - well done for saving this from a fellow Bristol dweller. |

I have to say, having looked back through the history, what a shame. This would be worth £2k plus if it hadn't been messed with. Well done Jim for saving it from being scrapped - but it's going to take superhuman effort to make a bad ting good...

Well done Jim for saving it from being scrapped - but it's going to take superhuman effort to make a bad ting good... Mayby now, but when I built it 12 years ago, it was just a £200 nail. A rusty brown one that no one else wanted. I am sure all us 'oldies' have stories of "if only I still had that now...". I once weighed in an AE86 simply because I couldn't be arsed to replace a rear cylinder. And my mates 626 Montrose coupe that he just left in a field one day... Sigh... if only... The Renault still exists though, and this pleases me! |

^ Yes - all fair enough - sorry for my grumpy moment earlier. And I'm being completely hypocritical as usual; my brown Renault 4, which I had around the same time, is rusting away...
