A French made French Renault 5

Once upon a time this French mini car was very popular, and the several models of it - by many manufacturers -, were too. It was a must for Majorette to produce this car and it proved to be a nice one. Although there are no moving part of it, nevertheless they wanted to add something, so this Renault 5 got mirrors on both side and an antenna, too. Unfortunately this plus part is made of plastic and during the past 40-45 years it's broken or missing. On my model the left mirror survived the decades.

 When I bought it, it was in a very poor condition.

I painted her nice light blue which colour was general in the 1970-es. Of course, I didn't forget the details, too.





The final step of the restoration: I made her a custom box, too!
