Welcome to the Guest Gallery!

This If you own a Renault 18, feel free to send me some pictures of it. Also feel free to let your creativity flow, have some fun with a photo editor and make something weird out of a Renault 18.

To start of with I Present you the first real virtual Renault 18 on this page: it's a Silver Blue Renault 18 Great Trash Limousine. (My youngest brother always claimed the letters GTL stood for "Grote Troep Limousine", which translates approximately down to the above). Only one car of this type was produced... :-)

Please e-mail your pictures to richard@renault18.com THANKS!

HAVE FUN!!!

This R18 is my first car and it didn't take long before I became a R18-fan. I bought this one only a few months ago from someone who stopped driving because of age. This car is a R18 GTL and in perfect condition (full maintenance every 1000km!). It had only 37000km when I bought the car (which is some 20 years old)!That's somewhat 2000km a year, increadible! There were new tires on and I paied only  200 EURO. One could say that I bougt some tires and got a car for free whit them ;-)! The Car stil looks extremely fine, the previous owner always used gloves to drive and there had never sitted someone on the backseed. In other words, a bargaine of a lifetime! 

Greetings, Christophe

I love the internet more and more each day! E-mail from literally all over the world finds it’s way to my computer. From Australia Dave and Donna wrote:

Hi from the land down under ! l'm Dave and l live in Melbourne Australia. In fact l'm the vice president of the Renault Car Club of Victoria. I was really happy to find your site! to see there is alot more people out there who love their R18s as much as my wife and l do. we have two at the moment, an 81 GTS 'Sahara' metallic wagon which unfortunately is waiting to die (l'm finding it very difficult to put her down particularly after seeing your site) and the love of our life (after our two boys) a white 79 GTS sedan, modified with a 2 litre Fuego engine and gearbox. (l like to call her a replica GTX). when my wife first came into our Renault mad family she swore she would never own one. l already had the wagon (after going through an R6, 2 R12s and a R12 virage) when the club had our All French car day for 1999 and there she was, with a for sale sign in the window. I had to stop myself from jumping for joy when Donna (my wife) quietly said 'if l ever own a Renault it will be one like that' so she sold her 91 Daihatsu charade and bought it! this is a pic of her and her baby. since then we have had 3 other 18s that we bought and stripped for parts. well that's a little bit about us, great to see your site and look forward to hearing from you .

 P.S. the 18s have an older sister, a R15 TS that l run on club registration. 

Jorge Alberto Acevedo from Colombia sent me a whole bunch of photo's from his superb R18 with wood details in the dashboard!

Wim Werkhoven from the Netherlands owns a superb R18 from 1980. At the moment (March 2004) it is for sale. And I must say this car is tempting! Wim's grand father was the first owner and the car has been stored dry for most of it's life and comes with a complete maintainance history.

It's my first car. Lovely Renault 18 from 1979 year. 1387 ccm Petrol, Sedan. I have one electric glass (on passager front site). 4 manual gear. Sport steering wheel. 185 Tyres  (standard: 165). I realy like thit car, because it is big in inside and easy to drive. The big booth is good in holiday. My friends think I have beautiful car and it don't look like a car from 1979.

this R 18 GTL Break 4x4 I bought in spring 1993 and I`m still driving it. I like it that much , sure it has a name - bimbo - , as it is reliable , low in consumption and repair costs , superb traction up to some 100 km/h ( due to the concept of the 4wd and the short 2,4 meters distance of the tires - lot`s of other car drivers can not believe when they got overtaken in bends and would not see me anymore ) , never a problem with robery ( up to now I went 4 times to the very south of spain , 4 times to the south of Italy , among other travelling around ) so it has some 300.000 km and it seems it can do much more. Sure you have to take care , especially with corrosion - in Austria the bastards put tons of salt on the streets in wintertime for all those helpless 2 wheel driven cars -the engine get`s special candles and some Mathe`-additive time by time.  It`s the classic GTL-version build in 1983 with the first dashboard ( which is much more sympathic as the type 2) , 1647cm3 with 79hp , no electrical suspend shit (windows,doorlocks etc.) and I want to drive it to the very finish. Luckily there`s another break 4x4 from 1985 with excellent bodyworkcondition in the garage to be continued . bye

P.S.  first photo taken in the Sila-mountains, Calabria - Italy , after some offroad fun in spring 1998, second photo taken a month ago in the tyrolean mountains withunfortunately low snow
