Refreshed a slightly worn 1971 Tissot PR516 Seastar automatic with a beautiful metallic gray dial.
Show PostIt was more likely volume and the lack of government support. Renault had two factories in Australia, Zetland in Sydney and West Heidelberg in Melbourne and they were just assembling CKDs. I imagine labour costs probably had a hand in both closures too.

Show PostThere's probably a crap ton of those still going. We built R12s here as well, my brother had two of them and he isn't even a car guy. I'm sure you already know this but the 12 went on to be the Dacia 1300/1310 which ran until the early 2000s. Did they build 12s in Quebec?
Show PostIncredible, they were built in Australia as well!
