With that white stripe, this could in fact be a Renault 10 Alconi, assembled and tuned in South Africa, back in 1967-68. http://alconi.blogspot.com Link to "www.aussiefrogs.com" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Model_8_%26_10_Alconi |

Very interesting, Exiv96. ("Jody Scheckter, South Africa's only World Formula 1 racing champion, started his blossoming career in sprint races with a 1300cc Renault R8 with Gordini and Alconi modifications.") |

Very interesting indeed ![]() I wonder why the 'built in' flag is Zimbabwe. Shouldn't that be Saouth Africa ? |

Because of this: /vehicle_782802-Ford-Consul-Cortina-Estate-1964.html I think, it should be more correct, to make it 'built in Zimbabwe', than 'built in South Africa', because it was assembled in Zimbabwe. -- Last edit: 2015-08-18 14:38:28 |

But if this is an Alconi version, it must be a South African car, rather than a Zimbabwean car. |

Yep, the Zimbabwean flag is a relic of the former identification… which is still there. Who's gonna make the change? |

I really don't know about 'Alconi' on this time, than I add this car. My mistake. But, we can change 'built in' country. |

… I put a 'made for ZA' but is it necessary? |

Not really. |
