First Featured Car! Ian's 1973 Renault 5 L
Written by Andrew
Wednesday, 12 December 2007
This is Ian's October 1973 Renault 5 L - one of the earliest Renault 5s still in existence. He's not long had the car, and is still working out what the heater controls do! He realises the car will need a new clutch shortly, and also a minor restoration. It was restored four years ago, but is already starting to rust in places. Ian hopes he can catch the dreaded tin-worm before it gets too much of a hold.
You'll be able to keep up with his progress as Ian works for Classic Car Weekly - the car is sure to become a regular feature in "Fleet News".
The car is recorded on the Renault 5 Register here: VFE 395M
Thank you Ian for sending me the news of your car - others, keep it coming!
