Shame Citroen didn't fit a handbrake lever with the release button on the opposite side for the RHD model. The button would have been under the driver's index finger on LHD but was under his little finger for the RHD model. Dad got used to turning his hand over so it was palm-upwards, so the index finger was covering the button. Citroen really should have turned the spade-handle over or else used one that was a mirror image, for the RHD model.

5:25. I noticed that the direction signal lever is on the right side. Apparently, Renault used the same set up regardless as to which side the steering wheel was on as U.S. spec cars had the lever on the right as well.

I agree - my first car was a used R16 here in the US. I got it cheap because no one knew what it was really. Great handling, Gas Milage and interior flexibility. Thanks for teh reminder of what it was like to drive.

I absolutely see why Wilbert Awdry came to a breath-taking railway that captures such mountainous lanscape in all of Wales. And why he based a neat _Railway Series_ book of it to equivalently advertise its suffice. Wonderful to promote a mountain railroad/railway making the premise of traveling, and railroading, a neat preliminary. Just think if Christopher Awdry had made a "Mountain Engines" book to counterpart as sort of a sequel to Wilbert's "Mountain Engines" book would be astounding to market. I humbly would suggest Christopher would base his book on the Manx Electric and Snaefell Mountain Tramway in the Isle of Man. I could kinda see where he would go to write out the settings to charter a new railway location, some new characters, and events to tie in what happened in the stories to make the book itself seem a bit constructive.

Amazing how memories of design details and the sound come back from my childhood. The many comments from former owners (of this and many other typical cars of that era) show, that a number of cars were not really bad in a technical sense at that time (see Alfa Sud), despite being rather cheap, but simply suffered from material and build quality. We know, it took the whole 80ies, to fight rust and missing quality control.

I had two Renault R10s and an R8S; I did my motor trade apprenticeship at a Renault dealers so knew the product well; the R8S had a blown engine so I put an R10 engine in it; one of the R10's was one of the very troublesome electric automatics so I converted it to a manual; I also had two Dauphines; ALL those rear engined models were lethal in the wet and ice and snow if you weren;t very careful, the Dauphines particularly so with their very "snatchy" drum brakes, but I had some fun in them...and not driving "fun"!

Thanks for the video my dad had 2 of the 16s a White one And a metallic green one the green one was so quiet on tick over it was unreal! But unfortunately the automatic gearbox went a bit funny in it so my dad had to resort in using the gearstick to change the gears manually lol also I can remember vividly my dad‘s Renault overheating going through great Yarmouth and the glass coolant bottle smash on to the floor as we were driving through Great Yarmouth Dad replaced it on the caravan site we stopped at with a upgraded plastic coolant bottle good old days never forget !

I learned to drive on the R-8 and R-10. They were were easy to drive, had excellent handling and were among the most comfortable cars I have ever driven, with extremely comfortable seats. The seat backs on the R-10 could be lowered horizontal so that one could use them as a bed to sleep on. Of course, they were both rear-engined so one had to become accustomed to the handling peculiarities of per-engine cars, which include susceptibility to crosswinds and a tendency to oversteer. However, I never experienced any handling problems with these Renault's. In snow they preformed brilliantly, never getting stuck in snow.

1:00 we called this "starts at a quart of key turn" "démarrer au quart de clé". Satisfying. A 70s classic that still had that old school french design refinement. I prefer the Renault 18 for an 80s classic with much more modern interior and mechanics
