Milford Cubicle Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Did all Fuegos TDs have "TURBO DIESEL" emblazoned on the back window?I imagine they were fairly nippy for an old diesel, even the naturally aspirated Renault 2.1 diesel is supposed to be quite good.Also, what on earth is the setup on the back of that Transit 'crewcab'?

Mr Lobster Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Within a hundred yards of each other!WANT. A LOT. Thats just utterly gorgeous. I still need to own another R11. That one would be more or less perfect. [anorak] BTW, The scene Pug is actually a Renault 4CV [/anorak] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The yellow Renault 8 is an 8S,looks like a Gordini but not as highly tuned.Still very nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55bloke Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Abolutely stunning!! LOVE the 404 coupe- didn't even know such a thing existed!! No idea what the ancient blue thing is, but noticed in the rear view of it visible in the 404 pic that it has Ford Model A tail lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordnut Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 That Renault 11 is nice, but the 404 coupe is something else! Never knew they existed either - wouldn't mind one of them beautiful looking car.There is another amphicar car in France on the Seine in Paris, I'm not sure how many were made but there can't be to many about.

wuvvum Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Stick your VW scene! Check out this Pug That's a Renault 4CV. Never seen one on wires before though. Looks like a late Juvaquatre van next to it. Wow. Can't remember the last time I saw a Peugeot 104 of the two-wheeled variety. Let alone two together. Had I been there I would have bought those. Oh, and going on my experience of a turbo diesel Renault 18, that Fuego TD should go like f***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
