View Full Version : Going looking at a valver
:o 2 weeks after selling the Williams, i'm going looking at buying a valver as a run-around. One owner from new, 60k miles. Its white, but not arsed about that.
I shall take pics if it's a good one, and the best bit is, the guy is an older bloke, Doctor, and only wants 3 ton for it as he's just bought a 182.
Winner 8)

so is this yours or Paddy's new toy then? for the price you got it 'd store/sellthe engine and get it 2.0 litered as it's likely to me minty with such low miles! 8)

Lucky bugger.

Well i'll be buying it, but i'd probably let Paddy drive it instead of the mighty AX hehe.
If its all in top condition a willy engine might be the way to go :D

NOoooooo. Keep it standard. Although at this rate there won't be many proper valvers and as such those remaining might see an increase in value! :twisted:
:lol: yes boss! it wont be for ages if i do decide to do an engine swap - and thats even if the car is decent and I do buy it.
Time will tell 8)

Nearly bid on a white one on ebay that looked tidy. Highest bid was £620 but didn't make the reserve.

As a joke when you go see it, say youll give him 300 for the valver or 400 for the 1.2 :D
Not been online for a while, but i got it! Little different than first advertised, the car has 95k on it. Still one owner and full Renault service history from new. Cambelts done at both 36k and 72k.
£250. Heres a couple of pics taken on mine and Paddy's phones :)

looks a good one kell....how does it go when compaired to the williams ?
Slower lol. It's alright, just no torque lower down the rev range which i was used to. Handles good, just not as good.
Not bad for 250 quid tho lol, can't complain
