A trip down memory lane, complete with a tight perm and shoulder pads. If you’re into questionable electronics, boxy styling and some of the best driving machines ever to hit the road, then stick around.
It seems that once every decade or so, the planets align and it sends the one or more of the French manufacturers crazy. In a really good way. And it seems that Renault are back there again. Really enjoying what they’re doing at the moment.

Something about an old Saab that just makes you smile. 😊

This 1985 BMW E30 316 saloon was still sporting its dealer plates and window sticker. Spotted in Cornwall in September. 😍

Factoid: A nice ad for a good car & a reminder that buyers of small family cars had a range of great FWD alternatives to pick back in the early-mid ‘70’s.
The real Q back then was whether to choose this or an Alfasud…

With the new 5 launched I thought I’d share this picture my dad took of mine 1995 I think, back in the days when you took random pictures after holidays to get film developed. Great car when it was working!

With all the focus on the new Jaguar brand and the deletion of all their old content, perhaps this little community should start resharing it. Here’s a 1988 advert that aired in the states. 😂 #jaGuar

Pastiche or perfection? Rather taken by the new 5. (Although the new 4 is even more exciting!) Seeing it in the metal at the NEC was a pleasant surprise. #renault5

Ahh. The glory days of decals. Excuse us while we get all misty eyed… 🥰
Factoid: I know you’ll want to know it’s the 43rd anniversary of the Morris Ital getting these snazzy side decals to make you the envy of all your neighbours & it wasn’t the only changes - the HLS got a std-fit passenger door…

Look at that lovely 5 TI. Mad to think that that ‘85 C plate will be 40 years old next year 😳 @takona.co.uk
Had the pleasure of delivering the Takona Renault 5 today.
Though the M25/M11/A14 aren't exactly the roads I'd choose to drive a 5 on, the country lanes either end provided plenty of fun.
Everyone should drive a lightweight car now and again, just as a reminder of how hugely fun they are

Morning! Fancy a bit of tongue in cheek (a phrase working on levels here) fun for a Sunday AM? A Spitting Image rip of a very famous Citroen ad…

Here’s Krystle Carrington (played wonderfully by Linda Evans) in her R107 SL on Dynasty. Nothing could be more 80s 😍
