Mmmm, very nice.

Is it me, or does anyone else think the wheels look (too) small?

[Iva Barchetta]

I have no idea how old that Renault Estafette is,production was anywhere between 1959 to 1986 in 4 countries.

I think the later ones you could spec 17" wheels on the 3S. You could also spec a wider track rear axle which really fills out the arches much better.

Outside my work the other day! Just pulled up on the industrial estate, think the driver was taking a break! Expensive truck load! 3 Lagondas and a Bentley (I think) seen in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.

On their way to the start of the Flying Scotsman Rally, which seems to have developed into some sort of Classic Car Dealer jolly, if you look at the entry list

The high profile tyres fill the arches enough, but the wheel itself looks small thanks to the modern obsession with size apparently mattering. However, I don't think it looks too small, just in keeping with the period of the car.

Spotted in Lyddington yesterday evening

I can't remember the last time I saw one of these. Top of the range 16TX, with quad headlights, velour seats and sports wheels.

Man, I love those things - there's just something about 70s Renaults that I really like. You're right though, I haven't seen a 16 (or a 14, 15, 17 or 18) in over ten years.

What is this Alfa?...........

Spotted today in car park at snetterton classic car racing

You star !!!



I was there yesterday too and drooled over the Alfa.

3 hours of searching for photos online, when we got home, drew a blank ( I had no means of capturing a photo !! ).
It looked fantastic.

Looks like a Milano kit, based on the Alfetta. Google might confuse you on this one, because the 75 was called Milano in the US.

What about GTV6?

Can't remember when I last saw a 16, let alone a 14, 15 or 17 around here in France either.
