Does it have a sh1t numberplate?

 

[Red21]

I recognised a few cars & owners there yesterday & not all Renault,
But if it Renault I would say the R5 GT turbo cabriolet or the Safrane Bi turbo?

 

[Duncan Grier]

Metro?

 

[Red21]

Metro?

Which ones, there were some very nice examples of BL finest on display & in better condition than when they exited the factory.

 

[Turbell]

Drivers seat was all the way back...

the Safrane Bi turbo?

It's a shame it was a bit blinged up but I would love one of those!

 

[DaveL485]

Guilty as charged.



I discovered that somehow Renault have managed to not only make the legroom in the trophy suck, but at the same time with the seat right back the gearstick is too far forward for my liking.

You have the proportions of a giraffe crossed with a trex. Nothing normal will fit you.

You can’t blame Renault for not considering your ergonomics.

But Volvo did, why not the tall-hating Renault chumps?

Swedes are shaped closer to GiraffeSaurusRex than the French?

I learnt 2 things at the show.

1. I don't fit into a GT40

2. I fit even worse into an Alpine 110 (the originals)...in fact I never even tried, they're so tiny!

That's those 2 off the list of future cars to sit alongside the V6.

What is the blue car behind the Clio V6? I can't quite make it out.

R12 Gordini?

 

[Turbell]

It's a 12TL, not a Gordini, well travelled car, the owner took it to France for the anniversary of the cars launch, its immaculate but clocks up the miles every year.

 

[DaveL485]

its immaculate

Yeah it's really quite unbelievable condition. Obviously a well cherished car.
