It got hit whilst we were out at the theatre (seeing a play called Dead Funny, IIRC). The impact dented the driver's door, sills, etc. And, upon inspection by the venerable Mathew at Giallo, a whole lot more.

Is it a Renault clutch Ewan?

I was under the impression the clutch assembly was part Peugeot, part Saab. But now we've dropped the engine and seperated the clutch, more parts are Renault than were first thought.

The reality of Venturi ownership in the UK is that you make it up as you go along! There are no specialists, no knowledgeable experts, no parts...

You just disassemble what you have and go from there. All part of the fun.

The engine block is Peugeot as are many other items, but most of the "borrowed" parts come from Alpine and the Renault A610/GTA. The turbos are from an aircraft company in Texas. The chassis, body and interior are bespoke to Venturi.

Must admit I though a lot of the components were from the A610, are Emblem doing the work?

One popped up on classic car feed I get yesterday in grey

Venturi 260

Catman, yes it was. All I have left is the Gransport metal lettering off the RHS, found in the road next to some bits of Mercedes.

Not a low-loader and not a recovery, just my QP off to FTech for bushes and droplinks.
