1989 Renault 21 Turbo - £2000 - essex

very reluctant sale
enthusiast and club owned
tax and tested
113k

I've known this particular car for nearly 9 years and have owned it twice in that time. When i purchased her back from a friend of mine i sold it to i took her off the road and restored her to her former glory. this was not a 20k nut and bolt rebuild but it wasn't cheap and the main objective was to make it a fast reliable clean example.

i have this car insured as a classic and im fully comp for only £190 a year so this awesome car is just perfect as a second/hobby car and is more than capable of being an everyday car.

the car has a cobra cat1 alarm and immobilizer with certificate

CHASSIS
very clean bodywork/paintwork considering its 23 years old
there is the odd little pin dent/scratch here and there but still looks very very good for its age

then the under chassis and all arches were sealed with tetrosyl underseal

INTERIOR
full black leather
drivers seat has had little repair but still looks good
autogauge psi boost gauge

there are a couple of points id like to point out. there not really "bad bits" as there only superficial

1. drivers door has dropped slightly theres no issues opening and closing it at all, it just annoys me and il include all the parts needed to rehang it.

2. interior fans are stuck on hot. cable locator lug has snapped so ive kept them on hot. also the fan motor has been put on a switch as that used to play

3. x2 manifold studs snapped off in the head. not an issue as it dont blow again just annoys me and il include a good replacement head

4. started motor clicks sumtimes has done this for 6+ years and has never failed to start (spare also included)

i must have forgot loads but its has a massive history file of recipts and old mot's ect.....

There are 3 sets of keys with this car. 2 are Renault originals and 1 set that's being used is a cut set. There is also a spare alarm fob
