Had one of these back in the early 00s, a 1.2 75hp SX, the "one to have" according to Quentin Wilson. Great car, great fun, only time it ever broke down was when a mechanic left the negative battery terminal unsecured. Miss it now! Read more
I had a 1.8RN for a while- it was a cheap and mostly reliable car- and even if the Laguna wasn't particularly impressive when first launched (I drove a few brand new ones when I was delivering hire cars as a 'job on the side', the interior was surprisingly durable- I looked to replace it with a 5 series Tourer of similar vintage that looked like it had been inhabitied by a flock of goats by comparison!
It was a decent if not particularly inspiring drive, too, and good on the motorway.
The most truly annoying thing about it though was the immobiliser. When getting in to start it you first have to remember to point the ignition key at the rear-view mirror and 'plip' it. Otherwise, when trying to start it in a hurry and forgetting, the engine would turn over once and die. Typical Renault! Its a bit like the location of the hazard light switch in the Master van- its by the rear view mirror- the last place you'd think to look. Read more

Surely the answer is none as there was never a GT6 convertible only a spitfire produced Read more
GT6 was always a factory "hardtop"
Spit was always a factory "soft top",
Doesn't mean that someone like Crayford couldn't have modified an honest alternative, - but - not origional.
Is this the same XJS with body kit featured in Paul Cowland's Turbo Pickers TV series? Read more
Thaat's not a 'red top' 2 litre, it's a boggo standard Ecotec X20XEV. I had 2 Vectra Bs with that engine, pretty reliable provided you kept the crankcase breathers clear. Read more

Hi Carole, I own a mk1 also 1.1 with only 48000 on the clock. It's a great car I wont part with mine. I think when a car hit 25 years, it may be classed as a modern classic. So it's worth checking out. Hope this helps
