May you have many trouble-free miles driving her. I love the rims and the color was an excellent choice.

That would require filling in the holes so it was on purpose (unless they were left off at the factory?? Seems unlikely.). Probably one of the best unrestored Europas I've seen!

« Last post by BDA on Sunday,May 11, 2025, 09:29:54 AM »A regular 3/16" punch is usually enough to get the pin out enough to grab with pliers but these (https://www.harborfreight.com/5-piece-long-drive-pin-punch-set-93111.html) from Harbor Freight would, without doubt, do the job.
I recently rebuilt my NG3. It's really not as daunting as you might expect. Give the usual suspects a shot at having the parts you need but if you can't find them in the States, Renault 16 Shop (https://www.renault16shop.com/?Lng=en) is your friend.
edit: actually I think it’s a 5/32” punch.

« Last post by Dreamer on Sunday,May 11, 2025, 09:09:26 AM »Personally, I much prefer this car over the JPS at UK Sports Cars.Tthis car has documented Lotus history plus a knock-out colour combo. Plus, its two grand less. I know, it hasn’t had a major restoration but if I understand the ad correctly, this car is all original.
Of note, this car does not have the “Championship” emblems on the sides. Being the last TCS built and sold as a 1975 it should have had the six year version with 1973 in the laurel wreath, wouldn’t you think? Perhaps it had a respray and is not all original…

Anyone knows if Renault 18 1647 ccm engine liners do fit a Renault 16 (same as S2?)?
Cheers
