As for dating the car - when did they start/stop putting side badges on the rear wings? -- Last edit: 2011-08-13 17:59:29

Never noticed they could disappear before the more radical changes of 1975 m.y., but, at least judging by the Google results, it seems, that 1974 cars (lower than TX) already didin't have them - to confirm.* Notice, the car here has new 1973 front badge, no side repeaters since late 1971, but still orange indicators... * Edit confirmed: http://www.amicale-r16.com/amicaleR16p7historiquedela16.htm no rear side deco since late 1973 - but maybe still can be puzzled car (it clearly is a wreck). Edit 2: Ops - 929V6 wrote about the rear decoration once and even on page from "my" film - belated respects! ==> /vehicle_298469-Renault-16-1974.html -- Last edit: 2012-05-14 14:26:40
