I finally bought a car I've been dreaming about since childhood, but not all is as it seems. £350 plus transportation costs later and I have a new lawn ornament with big bills expected. What should I do with this weird piece of turd?

The fact that there’s an abondoned Twingo sitting literally 100m away from my house for around 4 years, really says a lot about this car

@thedeadstig123 Ай бұрын

I saw this on facebook, most of the sills already cut out and obviously the last owner saw how far the rust went and gave up on it I had a 1995 Twingo and it was lovely, these early ones are so basic and reliable

Jup, he got scammed, I never go for second hand Renaults or Peugeots for that matter.. they dont have the best reputation.. general electric problems, rust, i even knew a guy who had a Megane Convertible on which the outside of the A-pillar fell off.. the glue didnt work anymore😂 it was something else..

1:17 France? That’s the Dutch flag 🇳🇱 not French 🇫🇷. Anyway I quite like the Twingo Mk1 , really cool to have one as they are rare in the UK. Edit: never knew the flag of Spain looked awfully like the German flag 🇩🇪 Or that the Italian flag had orange, always thought it was red and the orange was on the Irish flag 🇮🇪.

When I was a kid I went to France on a student exchange. Every Twingo I saw I shouted "Twingo"!!!! The family I was staying with got a friend with one to take me out for a drive and he gave me a little Twingo model to take home. I still have it 😁

@RandomHeroSpotting Ай бұрын

I loooove the MKI Twingo! Like you, always loved seeing them, they make me smile a lot! Has a perfect meaning to you so this is a great addition to the fleet! I hope you can get it back to at least a roadworthy level! I think this could be a good low, slow, show type car! Some tasteful wheels and coilovers! Or or... a little rally build! Something really fun! Congratulations on your Twingo Adam!!

The mk1 Twingo is a great car, but they are extremely rust prone. Sills, around the filler neck, floorpan, chassis legs and the inner front wings. This one looks bad. Its also not a 1993 car, more like a 1995/6. I can tell that by the paint colour and interior trim. 1993/4 cars had light green switchgear, blue and red seats and only 4 external colours. The blue switchgear was 1995/6 range feature. I own an early 1994 car with the folding roof.
