Sat in traffic yesterday and a green L plate Renault 19 RN passes me. I look at the back and it has a sticker (where the 16v badge would be) that says Storia or something like that. I thought it was just a dealers badge or something.
Get along the drivers side and look at the badge - it says 1.2! That aint going nowhere quick!
I knew there was a handful of 1.2's just as there is a handful of 3dr 1.4's but this is the first time i've seen one!
Feel the power! |

Really? It states in the Haynes manual that some were fitted with a 1.2 but I was always doubtful about whether they actually existed or not!
Mystery solved it would seem. |

My 1.4e RN is labelled 1390cc, 57kw and 77,5hp on the registration...
And it has E7J. Is this just the matter of "5% error marking" ?  |
