- Here is a video on one of my French gems - the Renault 10. While I am a massive American and Australian car fan, I also do like my European cars. The French in particular have made some lovely cars. I would still like to buy a Panhard one day. Anyway, something different. There will also be another Falcon video out very soon. Please give the ole Renault a 👍Like👍 asit doesn’t cost a thing and helps the channel. Please also Subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks for watching. 👍

Here is my Renault 10. I have always liked these. I have a few French cars in amongst my many American and Australian cars. Please give the little frog a 👍Like👍 and please Subscribe for more old car videos. New Falcon episode coming soon. 👍
Yeah, these are cool cars Mark, nice find. Reckon they designed it to drive either way. I liked Renaults as a kid, my uncle always had them & Citroens. He had a rule: 'when it breaks, disconnect it'.
Thanks. They do look like they can go either way style wise. I’ll try to remember your uncle’s advice 😀👍
Mark, the first step is admitting you have a problem. 😂
Ha hah. Yes. I am a caraholic! There you go. 👍
@markbehr88 I've got 5 myself, so we're all good.
@@sweet17777 Excellent. Any tips for me on owning one? 👍
Renault 10 was my first car. After that, everything seemed so simple and I was not daunted when I later became interested in old Citroens and Mercs.
I managed to blow a head gasket. The glass bottle expansion tank exploded with the pressure and showered the car behind me with coolant and broken glass presumably.
The little flap on the outer corners of the dash are ar vents.
You didn't notice the ashtray in the middle of the crash pad.
The grab handles on the doors are handy for pulling the door shut.
Otherr peoples experiences might be different, but I always found the plenum chamber to be the biggest concern when it came to possible rust areas. Make sure the drain stays clean of debris.
The boot upfront might seem small, but we did fit a 180cm tall guy in the front one time when we'd run out of seats. He made a grand entrance when we arrived at a party when he popped the hood and climbed out.
Enjoy your new toy!
Thanks for the info and tips. I will check those out. 👍👍
Haha, what a way to enter a party! Brilliant,
@@danozism Yes, hilarious! 😀👍
I like this quirky cars and like how other manufacturers did things differently... This car needs to be saved for just being an incredible survivor too... Great to see it has been saved!
Thanks Ivano. I agree plus I have always liked these for some reason. 👍
Hi Mark very rare car, on the roads in Wales,over the years they might have been scraped and rusted away, can't remember the last time I've seen one of these on the road, I bet it's rare in Australia. I think you got a good find there, like you said the petrol filler under the bonnet above the distributor cap I wouldn't like to fill it up with the engine running. you got a nice care there. As always a great video Take care
Thanks Shaun. Yes, they are few and far between on the roads these days. I think they sold a few in the USA too, however, I am sure they are thin on the ground there too and I am not sure I would have liked driving in a see of full size American cars that were probably belting along back in the day (although the Beetle was big there too). 👍
I love quirky European cars like this. A totally different world to the cars of today. I wish we saw more of these around. I guess it's either impractical to keep them going, for many people, or too expensive- or people just want to 'keep up with the Joneses! A shame. My parents had a Renault 12 from memory. Good, reliable cars- this was in the early 1980s. Nice one mate!
Thanks Dan. I do like the unusual when it comes to cars and it is interesting to see how so e countries and manufacturers solved the same challenges in very different ways. Definitely one worth saving and I am looking forward to getting into it (amongst my other many and varied projects). 👍
"Renault, the one to watch."
Maybe I will make a playlist for it? 👍
We had a teacher at school in 1969 with a 10 done up in a mix of rally and circuit spec. Lowered with big camber on the rear. SAAS type drivers bucket seat. Side draft (40mm ??.) Weber. Spotties. Was worthy of the lust.
Sounds like a cool teacher? 🤔👍
@@markbehr88 Inspired me to have a couple of 12s, a 504 and a 203 over my time. All cried out to be driven hard.
@@timothydunn5889 Very cool. I do like the 12 and the 504 in particular. 👍
Fuel and ignition right beside each other Mark - what could possibly go wrong 🤣
Exactly! 😵💫👍
Ohhh yeah...where the earth cable from the battery bolts to the body. ..make sure its got a good clean rust free connection 👍
Always a good tip Lance for any car. 👍
Wow you must have quite a collection of cars now. That looks like a fun car to drive.
Yes, there are a lot I have still to cover. 👍
Having the petrol filler right beside the ignition like that seems crazy , but the French have been known to be a bit quirky , like , in the sixties making it a rule for cars competing at Le Mans that they must have a horn, and a spare wheel and jack, and probably enough space for a picnic basket.
Ha hah. Yes, you are right. That is what kind of makes them interesting. Viva la difference!
@@markbehr88 I wonder if the jack is called a "Jaques" in French cars.
@@barrycuda3769 Ha hah. I love what you did there. 😀👍
Nice. I like it. Very few left now. 👍
Yes, they disappear fast, so good to grab a nice one while you can. 👍
Looks like a fun project. I remember the Renault 12 rear brakes wouldn't bleed and discovered a cutoff valve when the rear suspension dropped. Oddly enough my Ford BA ute has exactly the same thing for the same reason interestingly Dacia motors in Romania we're still making these models decades after.
Thanks. Really, that is interesting. I quite like the Renault 12 too. It was a good design. I wonder if the Renault 10 has that same process re the rear brakes ? 👍
Ahhh the Algorithm 😂 , just stumbled on this one .
You are truly a connisuer of the motor vehicles Mark 😊.
I remember these little renailts when they where still new getting around melbourne , i kinda liked the shape of them , this old girl looks like she's worth saving mate .
Cars are a good hobby , they come in so many interesting configurations .
All the best with it .
Thanks. Glad it came up. Like you, I also liked the shape. Something different. 👍
I know my grandmother worked at Renault I think they were in Heidelberg.
She used to stitch the seats together.
Yes, I have just updated the playlist with a second Renault video and included a picture of the Heidelberg assembly plant. 👍
@@markbehr88 Melbourne really was motor city in the late 60s early 70s 2x GMH, Ford, Volkswagen, Renault, Toyota (AMI) and Chrysler (Roots Group)
@@peterclark2230 Great days hey, when we made things in Australia! 👍
the compartiment is for refreshing, my uncle had a black one i loved it and got some ride kind of nervous engine ! frog from France !
Very cool. It would look good in black 👍
Well at least Renault put the radiator where it should be, unlike Fiat of the same era putting the radiator behind the back seat where it got stuff all airflow!
I reckon the missing door trim wouldn’t be too hard for a trimmer to knock up while he’s doing the rest of the interior.
How’s the headlining?
Thanks James. You are probably right re the trimmer making those. I just want to double check they are not under the seats etc. the headlining is good. Just a little nick at the base of the right c pillar. 👍
Did not see many of these in the U.S. I always liked the look of these.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Watched the one of the Chrysler Valiant. I’ve subscribed.
🚗🙂
@@jeffking4176 Thanks very much 👍
Oh it's just lovely!!
Thank you 👍
Cool car. I had an R30 once.
Thanks. Is that the older one before the R8? 👍
@@markbehr88 no it's the big car, it was a '76.
@@onkelmicke9670 Ah. Yes. Now I know the one you are referring to. 👍
I like the Renault too,nice find.
Thank you. I am looking forward to fixing it up. It runs well so that is a start. 👍
Thanks very much. 👍
Thanks very much. 👍
Mark how is the 10 going. I was at teachers College in the early 70's and had a thing for 8's (ooh a Gordini!) 10's and 16's.I think the engine of 1289cc motor even 1400 from the 12 fits into a ten if you are game. All the best with it! I look for ward to more episodes... I bought a Morris 1100 at College! We have a new Kia and Subaru now, but my pet is my third Triumph 2500S. It is my favourite, always attracts attention.. Mustard Gold, aka "Baby Shit Yellow!"
Thanks. I dropped in the other day as the guys are working on the brakes and carby. I also asked them to sort the electrics as there are a few weird things going on there. I’ll be sure to post more videos as we make progress. Your Triumph sounds cool. Our neighbours years ago had an Aqua one. Then they upgraded to the same colour as yours. 👍
Interesting little project. Smells old 😂
Ha. It does smell old, in a good way. 👍
You have quite the collection. This car is indeed very European in size and features and more. I am sure you will sort those things out on the car. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. It is certainly very different to most of my other cars. Amazing they fitted 4 wheel disc brakes back then. 👍
@@markbehr88 Indeed... the cars have changed a lot since then too.....
@@OLDS98 Yes, and the concept of a car has morphed into an SUV in many cases. 🤔👍
Mark, I think you have an R10 with the 10S engine.. these were mostly sold in Australia. They featured the 8 port head from the 956ccengine, which gave better breathing than the 5 port head, plus higher compression and a twin choke carb. not many around! Interesting car!
Thanks very much. I think you’re right. It has the tacho dash too. 👍
Ah, a 'Funny French'... quirky was an accepted part of the experience. The R10 was basically a rebodied Dauphine, though technically the Dauphine was succeeded by the Renault 8, then the 10. My mate's dad had a Dauphine and kept a concrete slab on the floor of the front boot, so as to make the weight distribution - and therefore the stability - a bit better.
Interesting. I have a spare engine in the front of mine at the moment. 👍
Hey Mark. Lovely looking car. For some reason, French cars never sold well here in the USA. I think it varied from model to model, but I think Renault and Citroen were the worst selling models. Damned if I know why. I've had some say they were poorly built. I've had some say other factors. I think the biggest problem was the lack of a dealer network and a service network to keep them on the road.
Thanks Jason. In the late 1950’s to early 1960’s the Renaults sold reasonably well a d were up against the Beetle there, however, the Beetle became the dominant small car there before the US compacts started to gain a foothold, along with the Japanese cars. Glad you like the Renault. I reckon it is a very interesting and different car. 👍
@@markbehr88 We've gotten a few Renaults and a few Peugeots here in the USA. I don't know exactly which sold best, or which was the best car to own, since I was too young at the time to drive a car. But if I had to choose a favourite French car, I'd take the Peugeot 505 and 604.
@@jasoncarpp7742 Yes, those Peugeots 504, 505, 604 etc were pretty good cars. 👍
I wonder if you can show us the wheel compartment or if it is interesting lol
Yes, I will definitely do that the next time I make a video of it. 👍
I am going to go out on limb and take a guess this car was built/assembled in West Hiedelberg , Victoria by Renault Australia.
I reckon you are right. 👍
@@markbehr88 I am a former frankophile. With Peugeots assembled by Renault Australia in West Heidelberg , Vic.And one Renault Virage wagon 1978 1.4 litre.
@@chrispbacon3042 Thanks Chris. Very cool. I love my Australian and American cars as well as other European cars too, but the French cars in particular have a lot of personality and idiosyncrasies. It is healthy to have broad tastes and an appreciation for other types of cars. We learn more that way. 👍
Were they assembled here? I prefer the looks of the 8, mainly because of the Gordini. Good basic reliable motors like the later 12 and 16.
Yes, they were assembled in Melbourne. I am thinking Heidelberg but could be wrong? 👍
If yes please let me know the price and where is your car country
Not the Car of the Year.
The inaugural COTY in '63 went to the Renault R8, the predecessor to your car. It's right there on the cover.
Yes, I know that. I was referring to what is basically the forerunner to the R10. 😵💫
watch out when you open the door!
