You will probably hardly come across a convertible. In Auto Motor Klassiek 8-2024, however, a beautiful example painted in Bleu Narvik takes center stage. The car was delivered new in the Netherlands and is today owned by Edwin van der Meer, a true Renault fanatic.
Within an eight-page report, we extensively discuss Edwin's beautiful car. We portrayed the Renault and its owner in a special place in Friesland. But if you blink, you will imagine yourself in the sixties and feel the typical Mediterranean atmosphere that the car brings.
We describe how Edwin came across the car. That is quite special, because you would think that we own enough classic Renaults. But Edwin couldn't pass up this beautiful Floride, and to his own surprise he expanded his collection with it. We tell you this and more about the beautiful Renault in the report.
Of course we also take a look at the model history and development of the modest French diva, which was sold as Floride and later as Caravelle. The Floride also received the latter name for the American market. Not only the model history is discussed; we also offer you an insight into the rather uneven and rather turbulent development phase of Renault's niche model. Who developed the car? Who was ultimately responsible for the car? What did Ghia-Aigle have to do with the development? And where was the Floride ultimately produced? We provide the answers to these and other questions. Then you know what it's like and you have a very complete picture of everything that has to do with this Renault and its successor.
Of course you will find many more articles and reports in the current one Auto Motor Klassiek Edition. News, existing topics, readers' mail, columns and of course the section with classics for sale have been permanent features for years, which complete the magazine month in month out. You shouldn't miss the issue. Not as a subscriber, and not in individual sales. Know what you have to do, and make sure you do it Auto Motor Klassiek 8-2024. Then you are assured of a magazine packed with classic fun.
I think it's a shame that there is less and less to read, I don't have the money for a subscription, and I always enjoyed reading the online version, but unfortunately that's declining by leaps and bounds, like this article, so there's just nothing in it, which is a shame.
C'est si jolie comme une film !
