It goes quite well, that 12G, for its time anyway. I had a ride in it recently. Good you found it David!
For the Renault 15/17 Fans
- Thread starter Shoji
- Start date
Yes aware of it. It is quite an unusual looking site but informative
You know why I sold it? Besides being sick if cleaning and changing spark plugs every time the weather changed. I always wanted the full set of Gordinis. I had a Dauphine G and a 17G but always thought an 8G would be impossible to find. Sold all 3 of them........times change.
This photo is clearly Canberra, but anyone know this car and the owner?
It depends how old this photo is Shoji 
I'm really hoping it isn't the one I bought and raided for its running gear, complete with sidedraft Webers. The one I bought was the same colour and wheels but when I bought it, it was full of rust, tired engine, ratty interior and had one of those nasty cheap pop-up sunroof's, which this one doesn't seem to have.
I disposed of the body about 15 years ago. It was retrievable for someone, but with rusty A pillars and roof near rear hatch, that wasn't me.
It was apparently a really nice car in its day, but definitely driven into the ground by the time I bought it.

Wow, what a lovely looking 17. Is that colour charcoal grey metallic?
The 15/17's were seriously nice looking cars and have aged well. Wish I had mine back.
Above pic my 1973 17TL in Canberra. Of all things I still have the receipt for it from a dealer in Fyshwick. This was taken in about 1986. It was already a tired car, I loved it but could never get the driver's door to adjust, before I owned it, it had been hit RHF and repaired... not too well. It also had a slide back sunroof, thankfully it didn't leak. I also had a metallic grey with red interior 15 (TL?) for a short while. I wonder what happened to them both. Long gone I guess.
Hi John. I found these photos on the net about May 2016 (download). Other than that, when it was taken? - don't know.It depends how old this photo is Shoji

Does look good in that colour though probably not original.
Looks like there was a few in grey
Would someone know of any sites that have detailed info, spec, etc about the groupe 5 R17G's.
