Maybe that's its saving grace ...it also closes in 12 seconds ...might just give you a chance to hide your face from anyone who might see you driving it :pac::pac::pac:

Do you get a "Noddy" hat to go with it? In fact I think anyone who drives any Renault should have to wear one anyway!:pac:

Hmmm, knowing Renault's reliability, they wanted to turn on the headlamps in the vid but the roof opened!

Modern Classic. Buy one if you ever have the chance. It will only go up in value because they are so rare.
The only reason they never sold many is because it was just far to expensive but it looked great then and still does now.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.
