She was dithering on the day but she chose grey with a white roof, I think. She wanted the coffee coloured one but was told the colour had been discontinued.

I did think that it bore more than a passing resemblance to the Frod Ka(k) ::)

Its the jointly developed GM/Fiat SCCS platform (Small Common Components and Systems) which is exactly that, a platform (which interestingly is AWD capable to)

So no, its not based on any other car, its a car desigend from the SCCS platform.....as is the Fiat 500 (and Alfa Mito etc etc)  ;D

Saw one of those on the road a few weeks ago - rare as hens teeth so nice to see.  I wouldn't say no, it's a proper bonkers Renault from the very tail end of the era of bonkers hot hatches :y

But then I am fond of the older Renaults having had a very reliable Renault 19 16v and a Renault 5 GT Turbo that was also bulletproof (beside me grenading the turbo twice by asking far too much of it!), always quite fancied a clit Williams.

That's just an engine and four wheels. No actual car included. ;D

Unfortunately, it's just an engine, four wheels and French electrics. ::)

As it happens all the running gear, engine etc from a Corsa VXR will all fit into an Adam. So stripped out, cage front buckets only, matt black wrap and dropped by about 30mm, oh and remove the reverse lamp and fog lamp and use holes for exhaust tail pipes.

Just need to find a cheap rear ended VXR and an Adam!

Its a problam that as because the Corasa is front wheel drive they tend to understeer and go head first into the tree, rather than rear wheel drive with over steer where they go arse first!
