for sale excellent project stunning genuine 1993 Renault Clio 16V Dimma with 2.0 Renault Williams Turbo engine extremely rare car only 38 where ever built and this is number 13 . Car has been stood and unused now for just over 5 years excellent project and would make someone a excellent car once back on the road, 101k millage , hpi clear all paperwork and keys present,

Is it still turbo'd ?

 

[JOHN1632]

Yes that’s when I bought it, got a Williams engine but not turbo, not a easy restoration but worth doing I think!

 

[cat171]

That's a shame. I do love it though, I think they look ace!

 

[JOHN1632]

The idea is to get it as good as possible and then turbo it in the future, had to stop somewhere after I told the wife it was a easy restoration that wouldn’t cost allot!

 

[JOHN1632]

Paint is on!!

 

[Martin_172]

Videos work perfectly now. I'm not overly keen on the exhaust , obviously that's all down to personal opinion. Other than that the car looks lovely.

 

[JOHN1632]

Exhaust is being done Thursday, a more tasteful one hopefully

Great to see these old dimma’s coming back to life, I have a Simms cosworth shell at a farm if it’s still there, never had time to do it, was famous back in the max power days, was new shell built on a cosworth floor pan, would love to find the time, but can’t see it nth, nice job you’ve done there, looks like it was done properly, well done,

 

[JOHN1632]

I’d be interested in another project if you want to send me some pictures!

 

[johnler]

I’ll have to go see if it’s still in farm building, it’s been there quite a few years now
