Showroom Vees

After seeing the orange there, I don't think it's all that it's made out to be. Doesn't seem to sit right on the car

Each time I see acid I love it even more that one on eBay really had poor pictures not showing the true colour

found a few more at home:

love that last one of the engines!

Great photos.....

What's the engine that is in the first row of the last photo, next to the Phase 2 V6's?

Thanks Iain.

Absolutely fascinating photos!

I can only imagine having been old enough and well off enough to have ordered a new v6 at the time!

Can you imagine! I wish I was there moment!

 

[Matt]

Yep my thoughts exactly. I'd have defiantly bought one new over other cars.

Found some pics in the collection of a french Moonlight Blue at the dealership:

Love the pictures of them in the process of being built. Nice to see more people than machines. Very intresting

Great pictures Duncan :approve:

Awesome thread!

Duncan, how do you collect all these awesome 'unseen' photos?? Just from the internet trawling?
Hmm, moonlight...... guess I'd need to see it in the flesh to give judgement!!!

 

[Matt]

Moonlight is gorgeous :approve:

Yeah it is! Google can be a pretty amazing tool when you dig deep and use its other functions.

Really great collection of factory pics Duncan. are they ones you took on a visit or are they Renault supplied ones or just found on the web somewhere? thinking about it, I don't think there were factory visits for customers when the V6 was being made or were there? did any of you visit Dieppe when they were being made?

Im glad to hear your all enjoying them! They are pictures ive collected over the years from the internet. Ive got into the habit of saving every picture i come across so have built up a massive collection over the past 5 or so years from all over the globe. Think they may come in use in the future!

I'm not lucky enough to of visited dieppe myself, but theres one or two people on the continent who did visit dieppe whilst the phase 2 v6s were in manufacture and thats where some of the photos came from. I understand they were not supposed to take photos, but im glad they snuck them in.

Have found more on my memory stick :rofl: i dont think there are any repeats, although they are similar.

Sorry for all the uploads James, might need to stick another 10p in the meter!!!

Great collection Duncan - do keep them coming.

Would it not be an idea to create a separate gallery for "Showroom and Factory Floor Vees"?

 

[Williams]

Great to see all these pics coming together in one place Duncan..! :approve:

Would have loved to have gone on a factory tour whilst the v6 was in production! I think there were a fortunate few from CS that managed to get there at that sort of time. Great times indeed..!
