Renault 15 or 17.? |
◊ 2006-07-23 00:51 |
Yes Though from this view I am not sure that it is possible to know which one of the two it is... But the rear pillar seen through the rear window looks like the R17 rather than the R15... or is it just a shadow? No other view of the car? -- Last edit: 2006-07-23 00:54:25 |

a Renault 17 Gordini 1975 from what I see in magazine Automobilia N°69 |

I did not notice that it was in USA... it is already not so common to see them in French movies. Seeing the bumper I would say that it is not one of the first models. And as they quicly stopped the R15/R17 to only keep the name "Gordini" in 1975 (which was a R17 actually), I suppose that it is that one.

The "15 Coupé" and the "17 Sports Coupé" appeared in Montreal may 1972. 1973 model didn't have the huge bumper and 15 had twin headlights. They adopted the federal bumper for 1974, and from 1975 on, only the 17 existed with the Gordini name and some nice color like the US only "royal plum"... |

that bumper makes it ugly.! |
◊ 2006-07-23 01:15 |
Have you seen there is R15 in the same film coincidence or the same car /vehicle_43349-unknown.html |
◊ 2006-07-23 01:17 |
It would be quite incredible that it is another one in the same color. So I guess that it is the same one? Then it is a rare 1974 R15... -- Last edit: 2006-07-23 01:21:37 |

I cannot see the mirror of the 3 serie Bmw, which means it's a R17. Can we think the one on teh parking has had its grilles painted black? |
◊ 2006-07-23 01:27 |
With the reflect it is difficult to see anything... I am not sure at 100% that it is a R17-style pillar. And on the other hand, on the other picture, something is hiding an important part too... I hope that garco will be able to help with one or two extra pictures |

No comments, but on the left, it's the same car... |

...I think I've probably Copy/paste and forgotten to post the message I made :2501 |
◊ 2006-07-23 14:04 |
Yes, but as I said above the other picture does not allow a sure identification either... |
◊ 2006-07-23 20:39 |
En France, il y a un moyen d'identification simple pour reconnaître une Renault 15 d'une 17 de l'arrière (OUI. Je sais, regarder la carte grise. C'est Malin, tiens!). C'est le hayon arrière: couleur carrosserie sur la R 15 et avec une bande noire sous la vitre arrière pour la Renault 17. Si ce hayon est d'origine et si la même spécification est valable pour les versions US, alors c'est une Renault 17 sans aucun doute... |
◊ 2006-07-23 20:44 |
I have checked, there are no better views of the car than this. |
◊ 2006-07-23 20:45 |
..bon? , ça veut dire que l'autre que l'on voit sur la photo de la Plymouth Valiant ne serait pas la même voiture alors? (..bin oui quoi?... ) |
◊ 2006-07-23 20:55 |
Non, sur les deux le bas de la vitre est noir, donc les deux seraient des 17... |
◊ 2006-07-23 20:57 |
J'ai précisé, je ne sais absolument pas si cette spécification vaut pour les modèles US... Si quelqu'un a la réponse? |
◊ 2006-07-23 21:01 |
D'après la photo de pub de "15 coupé" dont j'ai posté le lien plus haut, ça colle en tout cas |
◊ 2006-07-23 21:03 |
Et ça semble bien coller! |
◊ 2006-07-23 22:27 |
Great find!!! |
◊ 2006-07-24 02:17 |
Everytime I check this car ..it's model has changed ...15...17...Gordini ...15...and now 17 again.!! |
◊ 2014-06-22 15:07 |
This is for sure a R17 Gordini, there are no R15's with a sunroof only R17 have this. And the nameplate on the back is from the Renault 17 Gordini, i know because i have on myself. |
