1987 hatchbacks
As mentioned in my last upload, I found myself behind this Renault 5 on my way home from work on Thursday, and it gave me the idea of seeing if I could take my Uno through to where I remembered seeing the R5 in the past. Happily the car was where I expected it to be today, although I had to take these shots rather hurriedly as I was blocking the road. These cars were registered in Edinburgh within weeks of each other, and to my knowledge there are no other surviving cars in the city of that type or age. Although the R5 is looking rough now, there is no obvious rust on it, and it is a testament to the durability of these Renaults. As far as I know it has sat outdoors all it's life, and I'm pretty sure my Uno wouldn't still be around if it had been subjected to the same treatment.
