New Owner Wolverhampton

Hi folks, just wanted to say im now a Wind owner. Went to collect collection 002 from Wales today and grinned all the way home. Suffering now as even with factor 30 on, im lobsterfied but soo worth it. Will get some pictures when ive given it a proper clean and valet, but looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all.

Ohh here is one that looks good.

Hello and welcome lobster.v

It is worth it. Just a hat needed and a run to the Lakes...

Well done.

Lovely car congrats!

very nice

Thanks folks for the kind welcome. First up is a Cambelt change, then I am toying with trying to fit a 7" screen in the dashboard, and then get the dashboard covered in a nice leather. I might also increase the sound proofing under foot and in the doors. I've come from an Eclass where I was spoilt with leather everything so it would be nice to upgrade from the plastic fantastic that currently rebounds.

The only two issues so far is the massive blind spot on the drivers right hand side, and that you can't read the speedo when the sun is in your eyes.

Was grinning all the way to and from work today, and unlike every other car ive owned, ive not seen another whilst driving around yet.

Lol not seeing a Wind is good but imagine driving down the road and seeing 21 being part of the 21 was fun.

I'll have to see what we're doing in September, Tenerife or the lakes

Lakes....

Hi. Number Two! A really early one. Wonder where numero uno is and what colour it was.

It seems like a black one with the bi-colour wheels were used in all the promo shots for the Collection model with REN 133 as the show plate. Not sure if it is no 1 or one of the other collections, but I suppose you'd assume Renault kept the first one.

100 winds later my wind was born!!!

Nice, I wonder how far apart the build dates are. I'll read the stickers again tomorrow.

First registration of my wind was Feb 2011 but doesn't really give any clues to the factory build date. Don't know if they were made to order. Or just built 200 of them and shipped on demand.

On the drivers side door pillar the top number apparently is the build number would be interested to see the numbers for our Members

@Barbs can you make sense of this?

Yes it was the 3,937 wind built but  you might want to  change your picture please that shows you VIN number as well.
 The E4MF refers to the Engine

@Barbs done I thought the large number on the sticker below was the VIN?

I might of got it wrong but better to be careful.

I have removed it as you say better safe than sorry!!! Thanks for your help @ Barbs

One of two hundred in the uk? I wonder how many collections were built overall. Europe etc

I was trying to figure out if the collection range had the same allocation across Europe or if they repeated the numbers in the LDH and RHD versions. May have to break out the spreadsheet and try and trace as many collections as I can find. I did also find 000 which I now assume is the Renault marketing version.

007 would have been as good one for a British owner
