1984 Renault Fuego GTL - walkaround and POV drive

A walkaround and short drive with my Renault Fuego, the French coupé that has ´Eighties´ written all over it. The car´s stylish looks were conceived under direction of Robert Opron, the designer who was also responsible for icons such as the Citroën CX and SM. Unfortunately the Fuego never became a big success, the main reason probably being that it did not drive the way it looked. It was not a sporty car at all, much more a comfortable cruiser, like the Renault 18 that it was heavily based on.
My example is a modest one: a Fuego GTL, with steel wheels under plastic hubcaps and a 1.6-litre version of Renault´s Cléon engine. But the very nice, largely unrestored condition of the car more than makes up for its lack of power and accessories, in my humble opinion.
