All things Renault Wind

[NewcastleFalcon]

...and another Renault Wind Spot for the thread on Sunday. Its been a pretty good Renault Wind Spotting Season, one a month since April, and what a joy, this months spot is a White one, to add to the collection.

They are rare enough to be an occasional and notable spot, but not so rare that there is no chance of seeing one.
They are the car spotting equivalent of the Kingfisher or the Dolphin.

No point being miserly with the photos, here are the full set of shutter clicks.

Nice looking car, but even if I was actively on a search for a car, I would never buy a black one, although it does look good. Maybe its the childhood trauma of my Dad buying a hideous old-fashioned black Morris Cowley out of a scrapman's field to replace our much loved first ever car the Ford Anglia.

You know about these things Mick, looks to like it is a trade only auction, and buyers premium at 18% plus VAT on cars over £1000 looks steep.

Wind for sale....

No reserve Morris Leslie Classic Auction May 18th 2024 click on pic to link to details

Morris Leslie, The UK Northerly Classic Auction have a sale today starting at 11.00 am. at Errol Airfield in between Perth and Dundee.

I will be taking a window shoppers interest in the Renault Wind lot number 778. There's a few decent reasons to depress the hammer price. Not much of a population of buyers for it, high mileage at 127,500, been laid up for a year, no MOT, on at no reserve so if a bidding contest doesn't break out it could be sold for a bargain basement price.

Still as I read it to get it from the auction to your front door you will have to pay a minimum of £300 as a buyers premium, and an extra £30 for "livebid", plus transport. Could be down for £500-£600 in total before you consider what you are prepared to bid in the auction. On low hammer price lots under £2,000 selling and buying fees are a significant add on for buyers and take off for sellers. Meanwhile the auction house pockets commissions both ways.

Sold and away hammer price £1,050 add buyers minimum commission £250 plus £50 VAT, £25 Livebid fee plus £5 VAT

Total to buy £1,380 before transport home costs.

Hi Tony, welcome to the FCF

You could post your problem up on the Renault Wind Forum. With it being a bit of a rarity first-hand knowledge is more likely from that source of Renault Wind Owners. This delightfully named section of that forum would seem to be the best place to ask for a bit of specialist advice.

Wind SOS
A place to ask for detailed help and to offer advice on Wind problems.

A small bout of Renault Wind recently

Neil

[NewcastleFalcon]

Bob has had it from new, 9 years, and it is the first car which he has had to have MOT's done since his Mk1 Cortina and HB Viva days....the Wind blew in and he hasn't looked back (there's no point you can't see anything ) He absolutely loves it and he has had 52000 miles of trouble free fun, apart from a slight leak in the roof rectified by the dealer under warranty.

Bob has now sold his Wind and gone electric! as revealed by Mick here viewtopic.php?p=803862#p803862
