Hi All.
1996 Renault Twingo for sale.

This is a completely one off Twingo. I purchased the car in 2006 and had the car transferred on to British plates. Over the years I’ve carried out the modifications. The car has also been a cover feature in Performance French Car magazine. Below are the basis of the modifications.

Engine replacement using a 1.6 16v Renault Clio engine, with Yamaha R1 throttle bodies, started by Autobarn and completed by Omex and GDI.
Stand alone ECU developed and installed by Omex (Omex 600).
Remapping carried out by K-Tec.
Full exhaust system, downpipe and bespoke manifold undertaken by K-Tec
FK coilovers fitted all round by K-Tec.
(KTR discs and Kevlar pads) have been fitted along with a stronger clutch, new brake and fuel lines, drive shafts and gaiters.
RH cup alloys
Renault option rear spoiler
Lexus style rear lights (original available)
Clio Sport 172 front seats
Clio/Twingo cup graphics
Aftermarket steering wheel
Development bumpers from Prima Racing

Last service carried out by K-Tec along with the re-mapping, exhaust and manifold works. New battery and alternator.

The power is currently 134bhp with 128ftlb torque which is approximately 178bhp per ton.
I’ve not had the opportunity to test any 0-60 times at a Raceway in this car. In fact I’ve not had the chance to track the car which was its intention.

Other details:
Electric windows.
Aftermarket CD player (not that you need it, the sound of the exhaust is all the soundtrack you need)
5 speed manual gearbox
Remote central locking
34,000 miles – both the replacement engine and the car have done pretty much identical mileage.

The only bad points is that the car is not cosmetically perfect, there are the odd few stone chips and small crack in the rear bumper (being development bumpers they were not perfect when I brought them), and the usual parking dings. I didn't do the car to be a show car but to be a fun driving car. As the car was on foreign plates when I brought it there is no paperwork before 2006. I do have receipts and old MOT certificates along with the paperwork from the DVLA registering the car into the UK. There is only one key, another can be got from Renault but I've never needed two.

I hope the pictures say more than the spec. Please do not hesitate to email me for more information. I'd love to keep the car but I just don't have the time to drive it nor the money anymore to maintain more than one car.

The car is currently sorn with no mot. So grab yourself a little project car to finish.
