    Look what I've found.

    Renault 11 GTL

    This was parked up on a local estate, had been there for a week or 2 and not moved, was chatting with the chaps at work and as it happened it was one of there son in laws late fathers and was up for sale.

    So I bought it, couldn't let a local idiot butcher it or let her go to the yard. I'm torn what to do to it.

    1. Leave it completely standard
    2. Leave it completely standard but with a Turbo lump in it.


    Only 2 previous owners
    93,000 on the clock
    Totally standard inside and out.
    Solid underneath
    Runs lovely.

    What d'yall think?

    after bein out in it saturday, my vote is replace the suspension with brand new factory suspension so it does roll over as much, and just a stock GTT lump in it

    I've seen a few retro / modern engine combo's I can see the attraction, but the C1J seems almost too obvious. I'd love too see faces of people when it takes off.

    I knew you'd say that. But no, naughty Mark, bad Mark. I'd love to do that, but this could be the ultimate sleeper. I've got a while to make my mind up, as I'm not touching it until the 5 is back up and running.

    Minus the Cosworth and you'd have two good reliable engines to work with. Although the SR20 runs 8.5:1 as standard, so you need very little boost to make good power.

    Looks like a tidy old bus, most of the ph1 11s went to the scrapyard many years ago.
