1966 Renault 16 GLS 1.5

Summary:

Charming french comfort

Faults:

Very little.

Starting engine went down, some cooling problems.

General Comments:

True French comfort. Especially with the TX 5-gear box I've built in it. My children prefer the R16 very much above the Volvo 740 or the Mercedes W123 230 TE.

The R16 brings a smile on the face.
