The long weekend break came & went just too quickly. Feeling much better now, so thanks to everyone, for your warm wishes. They sure helped to drive the ills away & I appreciate the kindness.

This Renault Gordini is the only one in Australia to have an electronic roll back roof. It was brought out from England in a container with more rust than is acceptable here in Oz.

It is actually going on display at a Renault Carclub show in a few weeks.

Renault seems to be well represented in Australia. -V- This car over 25 years old.

A Renault 17 far from where it was born. Nice find. Marc

Interesting, but so sick of how many Renault are arround me everyday... By the way, wich is Aussi's favorite car? What brand name?

Very cool. I'd hate to be the one to have to detail it and clean it up, though! Interesting angle to shoot it from.

They always did say that black cars needed to be cleaned and polished more often ;-)

Bill Miller		18-Jun-2005 20:10
Is this yours by any chance???

Gail Davison		17-Jun-2005 12:07
Now that's an interesting project!!!

Chris Sofopoulos		17-Jun-2005 11:16

Rare even in Europe... Brings back memories

Someone call Xzibit. He needs to 'pimp this ride' :)

Ian Clowes		16-Jun-2005 12:30
I remember these. They all went rust coloured eventually.... part of the gallic charm! - the dangers of buying on Ebay??? :) 'one careful owner'...

Dominic Kite		16-Jun-2005 07:26
This looks like a great candidate for a restore. If only I had the space (and the tools, and the knowledge, and motivation, etc. it's nice to dream though!).

Guest		16-Jun-2005 01:23
We throw salt on the roads here in the winter to help cars rust faster : )

Guest		15-Jun-2005 23:15
I don't think this one is going to drive far

Guest		15-Jun-2005 03:50
Glad youre feeling better

Guest		15-Jun-2005 03:22
Now that's a cool moon roof!! Don't see many Renaults in my life time. Nice shot !!

Paul Dovie Jr		15-Jun-2005 03:04
Have not seen a Renault in YEARS, Looks like a lot of work to restore that one.

Guest		14-Jun-2005 22:55
Sight for sore eyes!

John Finlayson		14-Jun-2005 22:04
Hope your feeling better than the car looks ! Worth restoring though I used to have a 5 Gordini, it was a fine little car while it lasted !

Ric Yates		14-Jun-2005 20:23
Glad you're feeling better, looks like the car needs some attention now!

Gayle P. Clement		14-Jun-2005 17:46
Poor little car. I hope someone is going to restore it.

Lee Rudd		14-Jun-2005 17:42
I did wonder what had happened over the weekend! From the thumb I thought something serious... glad you are well. I hesitate to say this is a beauty, but with a bit (ok, a lot) of TLC it should be ok

Guest		14-Jun-2005 17:31
Glad you're well, but what about the car.

Zak		14-Jun-2005 15:12
The rustiness!

northstar37		14-Jun-2005 15:04
looks like a Renault 15 or 17, nice shape!

Coleen Perilloux Landry		14-Jun-2005 13:19
Looks like it could use a few things but it's amazing how good cars can be restored to their former beauty. Glad you're feeling better.

Yvonne		14-Jun-2005 11:41
Might need some burning of the midnight oil :) it sure needs more than a little loving...

Guest		14-Jun-2005 11:06
OMG....there is a lot of work to get this car up to scratch for a show. it would be interesting to see the same car on the show. :)
