Here is my lil 78.  I’m the 3rd or 4th owner with all the original paperwork from this San Francisco beauty.  Actually it’s the same car you have posted from 9/12/05.  First thing I did was take off the Le Car decals, not a big fan.  I love driving it although I can never get use to people staring at me.  I keep thinking they’re giving me a dirty look or something...but I realize it’s envy!
Thanks for your site,


Rick

En attaché, une photo de ma R 5 achetée il y a 30 ans de cela quand je faisais mes études au Canada.

 

Sa peinture va etre refaite à neuf. Elle a 228 000 km et a trainé ses pneus dans toutes les grandes métropoles d'Amérique du Nord et dans bon nombre de capitales Européennes.

 

Peut etre a-t-elle une place dans la galerie de votre site.

Attached are some photos I took last week (September 2010) of 4 of my Le Cars. 

I’ve driven many different Le Cars over the last 20+ years, and I still enjoy them. 

I also had many Fuegos, GTAs, and other Renaults, but the Le Car is still my favorite.

Cedric,

I found your Renault site today and thought I would send some pictures of my 1982 Le Car.  I am the 2nd owner and I have the original window sticker, sales receipt and all manuals for this Le Car.  It is in very good condition but I am having trouble getting the carb tuned correctly so that it runs correctly.  I may possibly open to selling it as well.  You can post the pictures on the site if you would like. California area.

Thank You,   Jim

Bonjour,
Si vous pourriez ajouter une image de mon R5 à votre emplacement il serait grand. C'est des 1978 R5 LeCar avec environ 31.000 milles. Il est installé comme voiture de rassemblement de macadam. C'est la deuxieme fois que je l'ai possédé et je ne prévois pas sur la vendre encore. Désolé pour mon pauvre Français.

Merci, Jon

This is a neat little 1978.Super-sharp, restored. I am the second owner. Interior is custom black and red leather. Custom fabric sunroof. Very good condition. Runs great, easily a daily driver. This is a California car, originally purchased by the first owner new at a dealership near San Francisco. Great fun to drive and attracts lots of attention!

This is a neat little 1976 Renault LeCar, ran and drove when it was parked, but needed carb work at the time. Odometer reading just over 32k miles, so is probably 132k but impossible to know for sure.

Easy To restore and find some parts. (ask us) but Joan needs to sell it, and of course trust in this site to find  a new owner.
