Can't remember when I last saw any old Renault being used on the road - even prior to 'lockdown - R4/5/6/8/10/11/12/14/16/16/17/18/20/21/25/30 ...

Move to Cornwall and you'll see a beige R4 being used for lots of local journeys... Owned by some nutter, from what I understand.Lightweight_911 wrote:.

Oooh. A Renault 21 Turbo. I forgotten about those. I used to lust after them as a classy alternative to a Sierra Cosworth.

I'd love one of them (or an IFA version). There has been one at Gooodwood a couple of times, acting as a mobile chicane but sounding great while doing so.

Nice to drive once you got used to the strange gear patten , 4 speed column change top gear was down and forward very easy to change down instead of up but no valve bounce!
