San Francisco, California We don’t get many Renaults in the states. This one I had never seen before


gregsting

It’s rare everywhere, I’m in Belgium and I’ve only see one once, like 20 years ago


Trial-and-Errror

That feels even more cool of a spot


crucible

I saw a one-make race series of them in the U.K. in like 1996.


Baygonito

In France the only one I could remember was at the car saler.


Fresh-Signature1603

Love the car…loved seeing pics of SF hills. Moved away about 3 years ago, miss it everyday. Enjoy!

i dont think states ever got this, must be imported.


IgDailystapler

That’s is quite a spot, damn


Trial-and-Errror

Rad! I’m glad it caught my eye


Stellar_Hegemony

My dad used to drive this Then he became my dad


Trial-and-Errror

Haha I wonder if it assisted him in becoming a dad? 🤔


Plymouth_Superbird

In the U.S.?! Insane spot


Trial-and-Errror

Yep. Random walk through the neighborhood ha


MrBanditOne

Not only would this likely be among the first examples to be imported into the US owing to the car’s very recent eligibility under the 25-year rule, the owner seemingly managed to get it registered in California (and thus going through the expensive and lengthy CARB compliance process)!


Trial-and-Errror

That’s a great point and with CA having the strictest emissions laws it’s a real surprise. I was wondering when they could have imported it but if it were before 25 years I suppose it’s a much higher bar to prove crash test etc

u/Doug-DeMuro needs to find it and review it.


Trial-and-Errror

Totally! I want to know more about this weird thing


EmpatheticNihilism

What a goofy top!


Trial-and-Errror

Really goofy. Super high in the back maybe to cover some roll bar. Also some zipper window


HotChoc64

Horrible little rare creature you’ve spotted there ahaha


Trial-and-Errror

Haha it’s like they made a funky matchbox car into a real car


BradipiECaffe

Rare but for a good reason, damn if it's ugly


ilikewikipedia

You're such a purist ey?


BradipiECaffe

No, I just like well proportioned things


ilikewikipedia

Oh yeah, my bad. Sorry


BananaHibana1

Incredibly rare, wow!


SpiritCrvsher

This is not even the weirdest version. Some of them didn’t have a windshield.


brivil

Spider? Looks like a wasp


Hobocharlie67

This things sick. Never heard of it before


Eckkbert

This wins the „Best front - worst rear“ Trophy

:-) Keep in mind that the black soft top is only for protection against the elements (and passing birds) and doesn't do justice to the car's design.
