I had a 1979 R17 Renault Gordini, Silver with the orange/red seats. Fast when it ran and fun, but it was broken down most of the time. Sometimes I wish I still had that car. I remember having the hard top blow off on the highway. Yikes.

Around ’82 I had a black R17 Gordini with red Recaro seats, magnesium wheels, louvered back window and that fabulous electric folding roof with the hard shell for winter. Tore up Saab Turbos back then. Ran like a top until one day…hey, it’s a Renault. Thanks for the memories and good luck selling…

Bruce, my site indexes pretty well for ‘Gordini’, I’ll bet a buyer finds you via this post. But if I hear anything, I’ll let you know!

I love the photo of your new car! I actually owned one of those back in the late 70s (I think). I found your website because I couldn’t remember what the Gordini looked like, so I did a search of posted pictures and yours was the only one I saw! But, what got me interested was that I was cleaning out my basement, and tucked in behind the furnace was the hard top for our Gordini. I guess I had stored it there a long time ago, and when I sold the car, forgot to give it to the new owner. So, I guess I’ll put it on ebay and see if anyone is interested. Or do you know of any fan groups on the net that I could get the word out?

Thanks!

I have been trying to find those seats for over a year. I need to get the backs for two of them. Any ideas?

Very nice looking R17 you have there. They do look a little funny compared to the Australian released ones, whit those bumpers you have over there
I had a 1973 R17TL for about 8 years and it is my all time favourite car, still to this day.

I bought this same car in Jax, Fl in 1982. Silver with red recaros and even the door ding protector strip! I never had seen or heard of the car previously. It also had a nice stripe kit for the bottom of the car that said Gordini within the striping. Convertible top had a hardtop shell that had to be bolted on behind the windshield. Car was fast ,fun, and I had a blast killing Scirraco’s, et al, on I-95 at night. Thanks for the pictures and memories.
