GS looks like a good project.
Even rarer, I found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 28840&rd=1
Can't even remember last time I saw one, early 80's I think!

There's still a few out here although the 17 was more popular here than the 15.
When I worked for a Renault/Pug dealer here many years ago we traded one (a 17TL) but unfortunately it was a dodgy 3 speed auto that didn't do much for it's sporting appearance.
Believe it or not, a couple of guys on one of the boards I frequent out here, use them as daily drivers.
Unusual beasties that didn't perform all that bad but I thought they rode as rough as a dray even before I owned Citroens.[:0]
Hate to think what I'd say about them now.[;)]

WOW!!! the old Reno looks groovey man. I bet my flaires would get traped in the door bottoms. You could cruise down the street listening to Bread or Cream or even some prog rock by Yes. Far out man. Thought my Fugeo was a style icon for coupes.

Groovey Baby! Got to be 1982 since I last saw one. They are one of those ugly as sin/ubercool cars the French pumped out in the 60s/70s, along with R4, R6 and the R17, oh and the Pug 604, nice!

I have NEVER knowingly seen one of those before. 16's yes, 17's yes. But that,no. WOW how odd, renault had it going on didnt they!!!!!!

ever seen one of those, looks tidy enough, the 4 pot looks lost in that engine bay.
Now being slightly more bias, this came on ebay today....

It looks to be in pretty good nick, tho the paint is a little dull! It would be tragic if it went for £25... If I had the space I'd have it!! One of the last being a 1980 model too!

Stuart McB · Post by **Stuart McB** » 11 Feb 2005, 23:41

Isn't the same model being used in a Puegeot Add at the mo? you know the one, man pulls up in the streetin a manky old estate car, little lad dressed as a robber in the back and he doesn't what to go. Any how little lad robs a bank. But the bloke has seen a poster with the price of a 206 on.

Yeah thats the one. I may go to Calne on Sunday and take a look at it, I am driving to Devizes anyway so a couple of extra miles wont hurt.

Go on, give it a good home!!

Haven't seen Renault 18 for years, parents used to have a silver turbo diesel estate on a 'Y' plate, loved it at the time except the horn sounded like a dying sheep!!! Car died on holiday in Devon, dad drove it out of holiday cottage drive onto lane and engine went bang...car went back on trailer being pulled by grandads Saab 900 hatch {bright orange paintwork, brown velour interior...very '70's!!!!!} we went back by train. Haven't seen Renault 16 for years now. Pug 504s were quite common round here till about 10 years ago, used by local taxi firm then they updated their fleet to Xantia's and an XM.

I didn't get to see the 504 Estate, but I have been emailed more pictures. Its not too bad. Inner wing needs some attention, and the seals look rusty. Typical bottom of the doors rusty, but tailgate looks sound. Its got the wrong wheels, these are from a early 70s car. Engine is 1.8 carby, not seized. Interior very basic plastic seats, no consol. 4 speed manual.

Bloody hell!
I'd forgotten about the Rancho.
Simca 1100 van chassis and front doors, with side windows from a hearse?
What a remarkable looking vehicle that was!
