JoBo Thanks but I think I'll concentrate my search on the BX. The 25 seems to be too rare. I just found it rather strange as the 25 sold better than the BX or at least I seem to remember seeing more of them around. Regards Alan

That's what I've heard. Auto doesn't both me because I'm looking for a manual car anyway.
A working dashboard helps though.
Put it this way, because my friend wants to buy the same car as me if we can find two good 25's for sale we'll consider them.

I actually saw one on the road in Brisbane last week. First time I’ve seen one in about 10 years at least I reckon. Don’t even see Fuegos anymore, they don’t even seem to turn up to the French car day (maybe one).

I think you may be right, I can only find one in the photos I took, not that I photographed everything, perhaps the majority, but there were three 17's.
Denis at French Car Care in Brisbane still drives one, and had maybe 7 stashed away. Quite a few were manuals. Be worth a call if you were really interested.
So apart from having no fuel gauge or other gauges, a car that continually shouts false warning messages at you, having no ventilation control…or hifi control nothing much goes wrong….. except if its an automatic gearbox in which case, it is a case of when, not if……
Phew…I thought for a moment they were unreliable!!

I had a manual 25 GTX for many years. Nothing a good soldering iron can't fix for the dashboard.
Lucky I had steel wheels as the soft alloy wheels went oval in no time. Factor this in as well. To change the ancillary drive belt you had to remove the cam belt first....great idea

Photos of the 17's please :jiggy:
Wow. That is quite a stash of 17s. Nice.
Now to up the ante, do you have any pictures of R15?

I sold my gold R25 GTX (With working dashboard and about 10 boxes of electronic and minor body parts) to a fellow in Mosman about 5 years ago. Great cars, heaps of power and the best gear shift (manual 5 speed) i've ever owned.
That’s probably the one i got before passing it on to don up in the hunter valley.
No I do not.
I have two manual 25s a silver car and a gold car 89 and 87 respectively.
Both unregistered the silver car requires a blue slip as i let the reg expire and it is in a garage in Singleton.
The gold car is also unreg and at the vineyard where I work in the hunter valley with the gearbox and clutch out and in the middle of replacement. I also have a pallet of parts that I picked up from sydney a while back.
Id would entertain the notion of sale as a job lot if anyone is interested. Not looking for rediculous money but would like to see them go to a good home

Renault Car Club Victoria concourse winner 2017 was a R25 , ours , Went on a tour of SA in said automobile , partly with the car club then later on our own . What a trip , with great fuel consumption , superb ride and sweet handling . Detractors may be many and converts few . your loss .
