1983 RENAULT Master I T35D Fourgon Phase I

Publicity photo of an early Renault Master I Van. It was made on the occasion of the Dutch commercial vehicle motor salon RAI, Amsterdam.

The Master I was characterized by a very modernist style. It is said that Marcello Gandini (who died last month, Torino 1938-2024) was the main designer of the Master Type I. Gandini then worked at the Bertone studio.

I remember these Diesel Master vans were very noisy and slow.
