Today’s car is the Renault Wind, a mid engined sports car from France. I think it was Renault’s tribute to the Lotus Europa, a mid engined British car from the 1970s, for which it provided the engines, and which was also styled like a bread van. It sold about three cars before it was pulled from the market, as no-one wanted a sports car they couldn’t see out of that was named after flatulence. There’s one that I see occasionally driving around Hastings – it has the dent in the offside front wing that is traditional to all French cars for some reason.
