The Renault 8 Gordini Is A Retro Rally Legend and Pocket Rocket Road Car! (1967 R1135 Road Test)

WIN with Lancaster Insurance: https://bit.ly/3YxfBbI
Renault’s humble 8 saloon car needed some “je ne sais quoi”, so Renault handed it to racing driver and engineer, Amédée Gordini and told him to “make it fast”. He responded with a more powerful engine, twin-rear shock absorbers, uprated suspension and a raft of other changes to create what was coined the Renault 8 Gordini, a pocket rocket that won three Tour De Corse rally events, showed up more expensive rivals like the Lancia Fulvia and cemented Renault’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with. Joe took a late South-African import Gordini for a drive on the road, to see how it holds up today…
Thanks to John for lending us his incredible 8 Gordini
