    After trawling the ads for the last few months looking for another old Renault and something to keep the 505 company, I came across this rare beast and she's all mine.
    1980 Renault 20TS mark 1...Only 70,000 miles and one owner since 1984.
    When was the last time you saw one of these?

    That's savage!! One Renault that I would buy myself if one turned up. Must be 10-15 years since I last saw one. I have lots of the rectangular rear badges though from wrecks over the years, both TS and TL spec.

    I'm not too sure.
    Any Irish ones always had a towbar with a cattle trailer attached and a river of cowsh1te dripping from behind - maybe for the sake of authenticity he should start looking for a cattle trailer:D

    @OP, best of luck with your new car, it looks a smasher.

    Very nice (rare!) find!

    Brings back memories....the first time I experienced power steering, windows and sunroof as a kid was in my cousin's Renault 20!

    There can only be literally a couple of original Irish ones left?

    That car looks fantastic! I remember my Aunt had one of those when we had a mk1 escort and anytime we went in it we taught we were in a rolls royce comparatively.
