DynaMike ◊ 2008-06-22 12:45	Mybe it's a British version? There were more british Renaults with vinyl top and extra striping, weren't there?

Gordini name had been dropped in Jan 76. There was a final upgrade in Jan 79 with tints, new wheels and rear fogs - unclear if these are present here, but I'd vote for tints. -- Last edit: 2012-02-16 02:06:25
