Original Sales Adverts for Renaults

[birobland]

I have owned four renaults - R4, R8 and two R12s. I am looking for sales ads for the cars from Renault or newspapers from the time the cars were originally sold. e.g 1960s for R4 and R8 and 1970s for R12. Can anyone advise me where I might find any such ads?

You'll see quite a few on eBay. I've set up a page to track them on ebay.co.uk: http://www.renault4.co.uk/sale/brochures.htm

Oddly the people in the brochure with the horse are friends of my uncle.

Thanks for info. I've found one ad that could suit me. Not the horse one I'm afraid. If you come across any more ads I'd be interested to hear. Thanks again

Hi birobland

There's some really interesting ads on the site
www.R4-4L.com. Click 'Entrez sur le site des 4L' and then look for 'Fille de Pub' on the LHS under R4.

I've just seen a picture of Clementine's Ermintrude on that site too! What a star!

Go on - which section is she in? Surely must be in their gallery of yellow Renaults in very good condition?

Ermintrude

Sorry, a bit embarassing for la pauvre Ermintrude as it's when she was caught with her boulons undone and her corps parted from her châssis.
On www.R4-4L.com go to 'Galeries photos' and then to 'Tranches de vie' (slices of life).

If it's any compensation, she is to be given special mention with before and after restoration photos in my talk at uni on Thursday!
