1987 Renault 11 1.4 petrol

Summary:

Complete french originality

Faults:

The car ran reasonably well for the first 11 months, then the fan hit the proverbial. The waterpump failed, leading to the motor being totally cooked.

General Comments:

The R11 was a smooth riding car and a willing performer. It always started, the transmission was a little clunky when cold, but when it was warm it worked perfectly.

The R11 was an unusual car. I saw only one other R11 in my travels.

After the engine meltdown, I sold it for two dozen beers.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
