In my collection of automotive artefacts I have quite a thick booklet of Renault's Range of Cars available in January 1979...
I was amazed at just what an extensive range it was!
The R4, R5, R12, R14, R15/17 ( ), R16, R18, R20 and R30
I was quite amazed to see the R16 will still available at such a late date...
It's a lovely booklet...

Re: The Renault Range in 1979
Jim, the unimaginitave naming of the Renault range proved to be rich seam in the completion of the FCF Advent Calendar...of necessity heavily disguised in this thread title
"Can you link numbers 1-24 with interesting cars?"
As far as Renault Brochures go this site here has loads (front pages mostly) lesrenaultdepapier.
I do like the odd image, and this from lesrenaultdepapier section for the 15/17 falls nicely into that category!
Regards Neil

Ahh, that's excellent Neil! That site answered my question as to when the R16 was discontinued... 1980.NewcastleFalcon wrote: As far as Renault Brochures go this site here has loads (front pages mostly) lesrenaultdepapier.
So that as not bad, a 15 year life...

Re: The Renault Range in 1979
Another one of my go-to sites is classiccarcatalogue
On the opening page it says it covers cars from 1930 to 1969 but its always evolving and there is a very good page for 1979 and the Renault range you mention. here it is
classiccarcatalogue-Renault-1979
I like how the site material is organised:
you can explore by year-select a year from the list, then a manufacturer from that year, and there is information/pictures of models for the year and changes to specs.
Or Explore by make where it starts with 1930 and you can page onwards through the years building up a fascinating history through pictures/adverts/brochure covers etc.
Strangely enough if you select Citroen currently the first image for 1930 is this:-
How you say? ....plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose ...
