I'd say the 2CV AK 400 in the background is more interesting than the one listed: this one is a version without the rear side window, introduced in January 1974 and much less common than the vitrée version.
rpcm ◊ 2007-12-01 02:02	In April 1981, the 5 Automatic 1300 received a 1400cc engine and became 5 Automatic. In the process, it also got a new rear badge ( it had received new seats with separated headrests in 1980 ). The bumpers and side protections continued black and the roof remained vinyl-covered. Here's one of the 1981+ cars where these details can be seen: http://www.renaultclassiccarclub.com/P9130008.JPG By what is possible to understand of the badge, I agree it seems to be a 5 GTL. -- Last edit: 2007-12-01 02:11:04
