its a cracking car, a sod to start and get into, but when it goes its great. we got it upto 50 mph on the a52 the other week (though it has no speedo, the landrover behind us clocked us at 50)

its used every friday and goes to shows down in the park,

Great video, lovely car :D

There's an elderly lady (well into her 80s) who takes her Renault of a similar vintage to the local car shows. I was speaking to her at one and she said that it used to be her husband's car and that they drove it every summer to the south of France to visit family, she continues to do this on her own.

well done to her. the belvoir Renault did a 250 mile trip to France in 2008 for its centenary.
