Renault Alliance Coupe 2-Fer Avec Special Editions
We have featured Renault Alliances before, but never two as part of one sale. Today’s feature includes a Motor Trend Car of the Year Edition and a GTA parts car. Why is the more desirable car the parts car? One word: rust.

Internet Sighting: Renault Le Van
This was posted at Brown Car Appreciation Society on Facebook, which, needless to say, is one of our favorite places. We don’t know anything about it yet, but we’ve asked… Remember to send your sightings to oddimobiles@oddimotive.com!

1964 Renault Dauphine and Shop Closing Sale!
Here we have a claimed solid example of the classic Renault Dauphine. That means rear-engine, water-cooled goodness! Well, okay, it’s a rear-engine platform, but there’s no engine in it right now. Well, that’s not entirely true – it looks like the engine is currently sitting where the passenger seat should be. The transaxle is in…

1988 Renault Medallion: French, Manual Wagon!
Here’s a car that checks almost all of the boxes. 1) It’s French, which guarantees obscurity in the US. Even better, the car and the engine are products of long-forgotten alliances. 2) It’s a wagon 3) It features a clutch pedal What’s missing? We say it’d be perfect with all-wheel drive and painted brown. Still,…

Clapped Out Renault Alliance Convertible
We’re not sure what happened here, but we’re glad this didn’t start life as the relatively desirable GTA version of this car. What we have here is a basic four cylinder, automatic Alliance painted in some sort of bass boat paint and equipped with a cheesy hood and a “racing edition” badge. Ugh. The seller…

Non-Gordini Renault R8 in Los Angeles
The R8 is one of the most unusual-looking (or least usual looking?) small sedans, which means we love them! This example awaits you in Lawndale, CA and has been upgraded with a 1.1L engine. Yes, that’s an upgrade vs. the base 0.956 liter unit… French with a rear-mounted engine – what’s not to love? With…

French Family Hatchback
Today’s feature car is a Renault 16 (R16), which was Renault’s large family hatch from the mid 1960s until 1980. After all, it wouldn’t be a European car from that period if it wasn’t built for fifteen years… The seller claims this one runs and it certainly appears original. What’s the downside? It has been…

Hopefully, This Car is Only Figuratively “On Fire”
Here we have a Renault Fuego Turbo with manual trans and claimed sub-58K mileage. What’s not to love? Yes, this was an odd attempt at a sports coupe by Renault and was made in the days when they were a state-owned enterprise. Like all other period Renaults, these had poor reputations for reliability and, in…

RHD, Manual Renault Avantime
The Avantime was a strange MPV sold by Renault, but engineered and manufactured by Matra. It is sometimes known as the vehicle that killed Matra. Continue on to find out more! No, this car isn’t in the US – it is in the UK, which was originally blessed with new Avantimes. Sadly, Nissan never rebadged…

In Case the Renault R8’s Front is just too Ugly for You.
We bring you the Renault R10! This was the only somewhat changed successor to the larger-engined “R8 Major”, which means you get an 1100cc engine and, well, a non-kinked front end. This is a claimed low mileage, unrestored car and there is no mention of trying to start it or whether the engine is seized.…
