Have you ever seen one? No? We’re not surprised—this is a model that has become extremely rare and is hardly ever spotted, even at major classic car gatherings. A remarkable example of one of France’s most innovative family cars of the 1970s, this 1975 Renault 16 TX offers an authentic glimpse into the past, preserved… Read More Rare hatchback: 1975 Renault 16 TX
If memory serves us right, this is the first time we’re posting a Renault 4—but we really like this one. The Renault 4 Parisienne is one of the rarest and most sought-after versions of the iconic R4. Produced in extremely limited numbers between 1963 and 1965, it was the result of a collaboration between Renault… Read More Limited edition: 1967 Renault 4 Parisienne
It’s no secret that we have a soft spot for minivans (along with a soft spot for any other classic cars, let’s be honest), and this French specimen is in really good condition. This is a member of the Estafette line, born in 1959 and the ancestor of a lineage of light commercial vehicles whose… Read More Black and light: 1963 Renault Estafette 800
In a period in which the off-road vehicle market is very strong, it is not a surprise to see the restored classic vehicles, which are part of this category. Some of these classic off-road vehicles are unknown to us, just like this Renault Colorale 4×4 from 1960, although we understand that this model was produced… Read More Country coral: 1960 Renault Colorale 4×4
The sight of this van reminded me that, when I was little, I definitely had a toy car of the same shape: at the time I didn’t understand which vehicle it was inspired by, but now I have understood it. Also because, honestly said, it is the absolute first time I see this Renault van:… Read More Groovy times: 1969 Renault Estafette R2137
There is a lot of France these last weeks, perhaps not just by chance: after finding the first car published on Monday, we have probably unconsciously focused on French cars: sometimes the brain works like this. Anyway, the point is not about finding “any” French car, but only those that we consider relevant in the… Read More Open rouge: 1962 Renault Floride S
Although this car is rare and, basically, unknown to most people – even to classic cars enthusiasts – this is not the first Sovam we publish. As already mentioned here, Sovam was founded in France in 1930 and specialized in mobile building shop kiosks based on light truck platforms: this model has inherited many components… Read More French oddball: 1967 Sovam 1100 VS
Not long ago we published a yellow A108, in conditions that looked beautiful. Today we have another one, but in much less seductive conditions than the first. It is in effect a car to be restored in its entirety, however it seems anything but a wreck: there is certainly a careful work to do to… Read More French bronze: 1966 Alpine A108
You may like it or not, but if we didn’t publish special cars like this one, we certainly wouldn’t be doing our job (in real life it’s certainly not a job). Or, maybe, that’s just because we used to be frequent visitors of autopuzzles.com A car that, actually, is the first time we see (even… Read More Renault inside: 1967 Sovam 1100 VS
This is really a strange car and perplexes us for several reasons, starting with the bodywork that it is very familiar to us. In fact, as many of you have already suspected, this is a body already seen elsewhere: it was taken integrally from a Ghia 1500 Coupé, built from 1965 to 1967, and adapted… Read More Transformers: 1971 Coachbuilt Renault R177
