One of these things, an R16. Mightn’t look it but it was Renault’s range topper at the time.

My grandfather had one of those. An engine mount was rusted in half after 100.000 miles. Dependable cars otherwise.

From wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt but, “In 1970, racing driver Stirling Moss exclaimed: “There is no doubt that the Renault 16 is the most intelligently engineered automobile I have ever encountered.”

Damn.

Compared to what else was around in those days might as well be true.

Backed in to allow for clutch start?

Story checks out.

Reversed in to avoid reversing out to main road.
