UK Renault Twingo ( Advert Commercial Spot Anuncio

The twins and I made this film on Easter Sunday 2007 to advertise the car I was selling. The original Twingo was never offered by Renault in the UK, despite selling millions on the continent over 14 years.

The accompanying music, an interpretation of Robert Palmer's 'Johnny And Mary' by Martin Taylor, was previously used in the original Renault adverts, most notably the UK Clio series starring 'Nicole' and 'Papa'.

I sold the car on September 9th, 2007, the very same weekend that the all-new Twingo was launched in the UK.

This comment makes me wish Renault had brought out the first Twingo in the UK. It would've been bigger than the Ford Ka I would've imagined. Plus nowadays they'd be even cheaper than the old Clios most likely for first time drivers.

My auntie drove one in France and said it was an amazing little car.

Was it much of an inconvienience driving a left hand drive in the UK?

Aside from being cleverly packaged, the original Twingo was taller and wider than most of its contemporaries (including the Clio, if I remember correctly). This made the interior very spacious but also, because of its boxy 'monospace' shape, the Twingo was easy to park and drive.

I actually learnt to drive in an RHD Peugeot 205. As soon as I passed my test, I owned various Twingos - So LHD is all I'd ever known, until selling this car and buying an all-new Twingo!

...in fact, I should add that my swap over from the original LHD Twingos to the all-new RHD version was kinda scary - Not for me, but for my friends and pedestrians ;-)

how the hell did you get it road legal???? they were banned in the uk because they did not pass their crash test to british standards.

Fortunately, you are completely wrong, because the Twingo ultimately achieved a 3 out of 5-star safety rating, on par with the Corsa and Ford Ka. There were never any issues with its safety record and the Twingo was safer than the 2-star Clio.

Renault did not introduce the Twingo in the UK in 1993 because small cars weren't massive sellers. The Twingo changed all that. When the Ka came along Renault realised their mistake but the factories weren't geared up to making right-hand drive versions.

Como te extraño fue mi primer auto, ahora tengo un Peugeot 207 una basuraaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why on earth didn't Renault introduce the original Twingo in the UK? Full of character, style and personality, the thing that Renault used to be good at years ago. It would have been a great replacement for the original Renault 5 in a lot of ways, instead we get the new bland Twingo, which is bettered by many rivals. In fact Toyota with the Aygo has more or less stolen ideas from the original twingo with the exposed interior paintwork and single wiper!

how a nice music for a more nicer car! For me the old twingo is better than the new and why you selling this car? This is a nice car man don't do that! :(
