A Renault 9, complete with headlight wipers because these were all the rage in the 1980s if you had a posh model. The 9 TSE was a posh model.

Wrong hand drive with French plates? Now that’s rare!
Anyway, at my wrenching club yesterday someone showed up with a Renault 14, the Renault that was replaced by the 9 and the 11. One of 4 still driven in this country, he said. Disposable and not very good cars from 30+ years ago tend to all but completely vanish.
Anyway, I stil recall a local monster truck event I attended in the mid 90s. They did some stunts with junkers, and when the junkers had died they ended up on the receiving end of monster truck carnage. I remember a phase 1 (as you pictured) Renault 9 being one of these junkers. I also remember it lasting the longest of all the junkers they had that day.

Those aren’t French plates, despite the F!

You seem to be right. The layout is wrong for French plates. Where are these plates from, and why are they trying to look French?

Ireland (well, it was at a local event!)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
That particular one is a car first registered in 1983 and now registered in Co. Kilkenny. It’s a used import because numbers issued to new vehicle prior to 1987 had a different format. Used imports get new style plates showing the year of first registration abroad.
As for the F, well it’s a Renault! (and the plate is strictly speaking illegal)
