This was last night after a 600 mile round trip to pick it up

 

[imprezaworks]

Funny thing is. That's a 93/94.

Older than some of the new members and probably more mature than some of the older members (I will include myself in the latter)

 

[Louis]

What's the plan with it?

[imprezaworks]

You have too much money

 

[RevLimitUK]

[Scrooge]

I know where there is a white chamade for sale

 

[Coops Mk1]

Lovely, mate had identical one few years back, 1991 j plate in blue, totally stock one owner. It was lovely.

 

[James]

Always loved these as a kid!

Loving the XR2i aswell, Jay

 

[Daniel]

I had a white ph2 chamade, a blue 3 door ph2, and when I met my Mrs she had a blue Ph1 5 door.
I think we covered all R19 bases??

They all broke down though. Lots.

And the bonnet vents leaking water on to the plugs, and the alternators frying, and the sunroof's leaking....
they were a properly shoddy car.
But f**k me were/are they cool!!
I'd have another tomorrow!

 

[The_Pirate]

Must be easy enough to drop an F4R/T into them, yes?

The xr2 is safe away from the wet

They drop relatively easy into most Renault's to be honest but i want to keep it original

Ohhh the dreaded bonnet vent haha ,, who came up with that idea ? Lol ,, it's all good unless you want to drive it in the rain lol

 

[OssPoop]

Oh that 19 is very nice. When I stated work one of the maintenance guys bought one brand new just like that. He only sold it a few years back now, how I wish I'd contacted him about it.

 

[Crybert]

I know nothing about these. Could you post some details? Engine spec etc?

 

[JACAM]
