Ingo ◊ 2012-03-07 23:39	Not origin France! Absolutely not!

Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-03-08 13:42	ingo wrote Not origin France! Absolutely not! Yes, it seems to be right, what confirms the mentioned wiki article. Renault Alliance Convertible had also notable role in the 1991 (rather weak) comedy "Missing Pieces" with Eric Idle in the main role. Maybe someone can find this movie, I can't.

Originally we were listing all variants with the same origin (e.g. some pickup/wagon versions of Opel sold in South America) but mostly due to Ingo's pressure, that was changed later.
