| Quote: |
| The 19 laid the foundations, along with the Williams Renault Clio, for the Renault Sport department of the company, which develops high performance tuned versions of standard Renault cars. The Renault 19 16v, however, was always considered a mans car, while the Clio 16v was more for girls |
The pictured one looks mint, some good history there. |

More for girls?
Feck off
Oooh on the subject of Clio's, on that site it says that the Mk1 Clio came with a 1.6 F type engine too. Never seen a 1.6 Clio tbh. Was it a diesel?.
Or is it the same 1.6 engine used in the Volvo 440 (1596cc 83Bhp)?
Strange. |

I didn't know the 'Chamade' name was dropped after the 1992 facelift? I thought the ph2's were still called chamades? Or is that just what everybody refers to them as? |

The 1.6 wasn't a diesel, they only came in 1.9 varieties |

Hard to believe they did a 1.2 R19, and I've even seen a RHD one! Rapid! |
