If I show you much more, it'd give the game away :lol:

Another clue, the spare is stowed in the spare wheel well in the boot, not in the engine bay ;)

Wtf? If it's not a 1.4... it's a 1.7, but the spare wheel isn't in the boot....

Hang on,

Each picture cuts the bottom of the boot lid.

Tell me it's not a devil fuel as you come from the land they existed in?

Chris, I can if you like tell you "it's not a devil fuel", but then I'd be lying my arse off.

Fuuuuuuuckn hell. No wonder this threads been moving so slow.
An actual diesel. Well done man. I've never actually seen one.

More pics.
What's the mpg like?
For a laugh, do a 0-60 on the clock.

Nice find man.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

More pics later when I finish work and if it stops raining. Not sure of the MPG, no tax or ticket on it, needs a bit of work. 235,000 on the clock, but it's original engine has been replaced at some point with another 1.6D from a Renault. Pukka factory model with mega sound deadening, plastic saddle tank and other dizzler-exclusive bits. Did take it for a slow spin down the road and back before parting with the moola. It's slow alright! I'll have to get it sorted as DERV is ten cents a litre cheaper than 95 here @ €1.45.

I believe they also did a saloon version, but I don't think they bother with GL trim on either here given the import duty back then.

There is a devil fuel GL on Marktplaats when I looked earlier, a mere €5750. :shock:
