Tell Derek to stop being shy, login and join the Renault 21 Party :Cheer

I think they sold 140 Quadra Turbo's so I reckon maybe 60 TXI Quadra's found owners in the UK?

Ok Derek says just 5 were sold in the UK. He hasn't checked but thinks this is probably the last one left. It's not as bad as it looks in the photo. The brambles are in front of the car and he said it wouldn't take much to get it up and running.
So that's that end of the fun we've had with that photo look forward to the next with eager anticipation :yawn

Timing cover, engine lifting brackets, fuel pump, sump, coolant connection stubs, coolant collector in engine vee, exhaust manifold (studs not bolts).

Those are from my fastener shopping list for the A310 when I rebuilt the engine. Fuel pump may not be applicable for the GTA?

Most importantly you need one to remove the steering wheel but you don't leave it fitted.

Can you ask Derek if he will break the TXi for the cylinder head please lol

I'll keep on knocking on the front door, seems the owner forgot they had a house lying around too. I suspect he doesn't need the money!
