    OH MY GOD! I KNOW THIS CAR! It was owned by my grandparents back in '78 when they moved to Queensland. They bought it off a good friend who bought it new. I know it's the same one because of that exact tach, I helped install it. In '97, my grandfather passed, and my grandmother sold the car to one of the people she went to church with and moved back home with us. It's great to see it again after all these years, even in its current state.
    EDIT: Thank you for all the likes and replies. I don't know anything that happened to the car after it was sold, and my grandmother passed a few years after that, so I can't ask her about it. We no longer live in Australia as we moved to Canada back in '03. I can't give any more details as it wasn't my car and my grandparents aren't here to answer any questions.

      Do you know if the engine has been replaced? These engines were made like legos and zillions were made. It's fairly easy to swap. They're also indestructible so it's entirely possible the 50+ year old engine is still in there.

There’s a pretty infamous story in my family about my grandfather breaking his arm trying to start his car in the 1930’s and then going to work anyway because he didn’t want to risk loosing his job during the Great Depression. He ended up getting the bone set during his lunch break. It’s crazy how dangerous cars were back in the day!

      absolutely! the modern electric starter was invented after the CEO of cadillac Henry Leland, lost a friend to an accident where while starting a car, the hand crank kicked back and broke his jaw. Henry leland tasked Charles Kettering with solving the issue of crank starting, which he did with the electric starter.

      The only reason I (Canadian) had ever heard of Renault was my mechanic Dad’s book of emergency car repairs that he insisted I own. The heading for “sharing out wheel nuts” (if you lose them at night while changing a tire, for example) mentioned that Renaults and other small European cars often have only three so they couldn’t safely share. 😂
      …The book itself was printed in the 80’s, so even though my Dad never owned anything newer than 1992 (his car when he passed in 2017 was built in 1981 and it was an absolute nugget!) it’s lonnnnng out of date.

    You probably won't ever find this out, as you'll never drive it at night, but those headlamps are proper Cibies, and were one of the best headlamps of their day on a production car. As far as I recall the 10 didn't use the H4 base, but the P45, and you can get P45 halogens to fit.
    99% of them were fitted with the crappy tungsten filament bulbs, never upgraded to halogens, and the owners never realised what they had.
    When fitted with a halogen bulb, these headlamps really deliver, provided the reflector is still in good condition.

The company produced and assembled models including the R8, R10, R12, R16, sporty R15, R17 coupes, R18, and R20. The unit closed in 1981 and the factory closed with LNC Industries taking over import and distribution of Renaults in Australia.

    I think I know the reason why there were pieces of woods inside the car. My grandpa had a Renault R4, and those cars had no way to secure lock their windows, so he used a piece of wood on each window to lock them from the inside whenever it was parked, otherwise, anyone can slide the windows from outside the car. Given that the R4 was released after the Renault 10, I think this car has the same gimmick, and it's safe to say that the previous owner used the same method to lock the windows.

      @@SomaCruz500 I think it's a design flaw. When brand new those cars used to have some small plastic thing next to the windows that locks them. But they were so lossily secured that they just come off on their own with time. And regular super glue won't work to fix them, so people just resorted to using wooden sticks to lock the windows. Renault did sell some special glue to fix them, but it was ridiculously expensive.

    Just a reminder, if you are doing timing stuff, french being french, the cylinder n1 is the closest to the water pump, not the flywheel!
    i dont know this chassis, but some renaults needed the refrigerant jar hanged up while burping the system due to it being lower than other hoses or parts. i would read the shop manual just to get aware of some bizarre things and procedures these cars have.
    Where im at, those engines ares still being used and rebiult, valve timing is so conservative, even if you start it below freezing, on cng even, it will start as in the video, one crank rotation and away you go!
    Fun fact, you can rebuild the engine without taking it out, it has removable "floating" skirts that seal in the block with a thin oring that seems scary skinny, yet they hold up even after overheating the engine, no water, low oil...
    Grandma had one when i was a child, 78 renault 12, uncle had a 94 r19 that still held that engine, a friend had a 95(? twingo, still that engine, but 1.2 and monopoint injection as last life resource
    Renault definitely amortized that engine, it was in all renaults since the 60s to past 00s

      Wish they’d bring back being able to be “got it at the junkyard to rebuild it”. That’s how my Dad got most of his cars, including his sleeper drag car! (He was so attached to it that when he could no longer afford to keep it, he HAD IT CRUSHED rather than see someone else driving it. Everyone else thought he was absolutely nuts but he said it would be like selling his actual children.)

      That’s usually the policies of the larger “chain” yards.
      I’ve been able to buy several whole vehicles from smaller independent owned yards as long as I tell them it’s being used for parts.
      A bill of sale with some luck and some states will let you register the car if it is old enough.

    My guess is somebody was into racing at some point and has probably kicked the bucket and their relatives dealing with the estate didn't know what to do with the old rusty 60s era racing car and decided to just get rid of it. It would explain why it's so well looked after for something that old at u pull it

    This reminds me of back in '91 I was given a 1970 SAAB 99, the car came with an additional engine, the original Triumph/Ricardo slant 4, 1750cc with a D-tronic Bosh fuel injection, in the trunk and backseat.
    The PO had shoehorned a 1973 EMS 2.0 liter into that lump. The most amazing thing was that car was absolutely straight and rust free, a 4 door with the powder blue factory paint. Not a hint of corrosion.
    I fixed it up with a head milling and new head gasket/ new shims for the bucket and shim lash adjusters. It was a jalopy in Cartalk speak, but a ripper of a dead stock looking sleeper with the EMS's hot cam and D-tronic injection. It was supposedly 110 h.p. out of a SOHC 8 valve, which for it's time made it much faster than any of the Volvo 144 series cars it was competing with.
    Loved that car. My wife and I drove it 2 weeks after getting going and tagged, to California in July in the heat of the San Joaquin valley for a couple weeks. Did not overheat or miss a beat, and embarrassed a group of young guys in an early Turbo Volvo wagon on the Siskiyou pass coming back.

    My dad's first car was a Dacia 1100, which was a Renault 8 licensed copy, made from original parts but assembled in Romania.
    It was the same style, almost the same shape, almost all the curves are there. Engine at the back, trunk at the front.
    The engine was bulletproof and only had one issue. The radiator was at the back and cooling on it was subpar.
    Also, one major drawback was the cars tank was under the back seat and it was leaky as hell. I remember one time my pants got really wet from it. Almost fainted from the gasoline smell.
    Boy, this brings back memories.
