Renault, Flins, France. The Renault R8 was a small rear engine rear wheel drive car produced in the sixties and early seventies. The more powerful Gordini version was produced from 1964 and the Gordini 1300 from 1966. It was much used as a rally car and scored a hat trick of wins in the Tour de Corse between 1964 and 1966. in the late sixties there was a one make series of Renault 8 Gordini races in which drivers like Jean-Pierre Jarier competed. It had a top speed of about 175kph and a 0-100kph time of 11.5 seconds. A very popular classic car in France nowadays and deservedly so with its nationalistic blue and white stripe colour scheme and reputation as an affordable sporting saloon car.
