He he, I know.You know the one in the for sale thread. Which one of you lucky ducks is taking care of it. And what the heck was it! Oooooooh!
No, but it's a good home, and it won't be lonely amongst the other Renaults there. The new owner is on here.Oh you flirt! Go on, give us a hint.
The model type was slightly incorrectly written, it was R1317, so a 17 Gordini, that would have had a 5 speed manual box that was apparently broken but came with a 4 speed fitted and were standard with 4 wheel discs. Of course they were also fuel injected using a D Jetronic system. Sway bars were also a little larger, and the wheels were 5.5" wide instead of the 4.5" wheels of the standard 15/17, still 13" in diameter.And what the heck was it! Oooooooh!

need to get on their 'speed dial' too, just under Angru.Oh, and thanks to the eagle eyed aussiefrogs watcher who tipped me off that it had been posted on here within a couple of minutes of the add going up... there’s a bottle of rum coming your way.
Well done indeed. "Glutton for punishment" comes to mind too!I’m planing to go up next week to get it.
I spoke to the owner (seemed like a really decent bloke who had loved the car) for 20 minutes yesterday, and sounds like it’s body is in a bad way.
It’s an R1317 and he says it’s ‘75 build. I got the impression it was badged as a 17 Gordini rather than TS (not totally sure) and from verbal description, is an early type shell with fuel filler on top section of rear quarter.
At some stage the car had some damage done whereby the windscreen was broken and it’s been exposed to the elements since. I’m not sure of it’s future yet, but if it’s complete enough and able to be saved I would hope to be able to put it on the road as a 17G again.
I’ll update when I collect it.
At least Angru and Paul never get bored.Well done indeed. "Glutton for punishment" comes to mind too!
