ANY RENAULT 17 LICKERS?

Post by mercrocker »

Found a listing for a fibreglass roof panel. The Auctioneer hasn't a clue what it is off and neither have I, really.

However there is a possibility it might be one of those hardtop in-fill panels for the electric-sunroof version of the R17. It has the holes along the leading edge where it pressed into the aperture and there is a signature of some sort which means nothing to me.

AFAIK the panels were never listed here (or maybe available through Renault Boutique etc?) but there is a chance here for someone to possibly obtain a rare thing if indeed it is off a 17.

The auction house is in Surrey but be quick as it is only a couple of days away....!

Not sure if that is 17, it looks a bit big to me. I had a couple but with folding roofs. I can put something on the classic renault club page if you want.

My 17 wasn’t a “ convertible “ unfortunately it was though a Gordini injection and was as quick as a mates 2000 Beta Coupe. One of my favourite cars although one of the least reliable. I also invented dogging in it on The Embankment one night.

Anyway , looks like your suspicions are well founded .

I’ve just bought a Euromillions ticket and if I win I’ll be buying all the Renault 17s.

If you wouldn't mind chucking up a link that would be great. Be a shame if it got binned due to not fetching anything.....

Well it was for a 17 and one of the guys on the Renault classic club has bought it for just over 6 quid with the fee's. At least it went to someone who can make use of it.

Excellent result, I would have hated to see it go to waste and had no way of getting it home even if I'd have bought it....

It did get me looking on easylive auctions though so I blame you for the fact that I have just bought 3 Alan Fearnley prints from an auction house in Shaftsbury. I now have to pick them up this week and try and find a wall to hang them on. I normally only collect Nicholas Watts Le Mans prints but these are Monaco from the 30's with Bugatti's and Bentleys
