Assembly plan of a "5"

_________________________________________________________________

Back 

 

 

         In some few pictures, here are some of the steps to build a RENAULT 5

 

First Sketches in early 1968, First scales... 122 project has been launched

We are not sure but the lines are set.

A few details need to be seen...

  • Sliding front windows?
  • 4 Headlights? square or round?

 

                   

                   

 

  

Look at the front...

 

         

It looks like the Renault 14 and R18 don't you think?

 

 

 

And this one an "Air" ...

 

 

 

of 16 ?

 

 

They also studied sliding rear windows...

 

 

 

 

 

    Here we are! The style has been selected

 

 

In 1975 For the American market, they wanted to get something more special also to face legislation in terms of safety.

 

 

 

    We can build the very first ones for tests

 

      

    And measures on circuit:

 

      

   Final assembly stated in 1972 in Flin (France).
