Renault Fregate..

This one should be still floating around in Victoria somewhere, I rang the owner a couple of years ago and he still had it in his backyard. I reckon I could track it down if anyone were interested.

Nice and thanks. SOMEONE should be interested in the Renault world you'd think. (Not a hint Graham. Really. Despite its colour.) It's lovely. I wonder whether Renault Australia would like it?
 
Tell you what, the rear on the Fregate wagon is quite large and it looks big enough to make a good classic hearse.
Who wouldn't want a ride to the crematorium in one of these?
 
Droolworthy Letourneur & Marchand

Here's one for Mr Sunroof, it appears to be a 1960(ish) Letourneur & Marchand but could even be a well done replica, note the wire wheels. C'mon Sunroof, you have a body shell and big shed and I have a big angle grinder, let's get started..?

But would they let us register it with out roll bars etc.
 
I think I prefer the unornamented Domaine..... That's flashy perhaps but all the styling features are up to the messy level to my eyes.
 
Perhaps all cream without the side flash would hit the spot. It's amazing what's out there in the Fregate world though.

Renault Fregate driving technique..

When Renault adapted the Fregate for right hand drive markets they typically didn't re-invent the wheel and simply used the same steering column as the Left hand drive cars. Gear change is 4 on the tree on the right hand side with no syncro in 1st and its surprising how quickly one can adapt to this new level of dexterity..

59 You went driving yesterday when you were supposed to be in your sick bed recovering so you can go to work on Monday.
 
Sickness has thrown out my body clock and now I have cabin fever, one can only stay in bed for a short while. Other than that I have been laying on the couch which is a real novelty for me.
 
I did the morning coffee run on my own.:cry:

Very good. I've been trying to work out where the camera was mounted, and between the teeth seems the best guess????

I couldn't make out if they were your arms or not. I'll have to take a better look and note of them next time I see you.

Probably, because his knuckles definately don't drag on the ground when he walks.
