"Old" Renault Drivers - a little help please
Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2019 4:38 pm
I am hoping some of you might have some insights to help answer my questions.
I have recently acquired what appears to have been either a trophy, presentation item, or souvenir item. It is a very detailed pewter model of an SCCA Sports RENAULT. The detail is very good, and it was made prior to the Tall-Man hoops and at one time had the old style mirrors attached (now missing.)
Does anyone on the board recall these items? Were they perhaps used as promotional items during the initial roll-out?
Rather than try and describe too much, I'll just add a few photos. You'll note the detail, in the tires, including tread, and GoodYear on sidewalls, the cockpit gauges, and not shown even A-Arms!
It was manufactured by a company in Westborough, MA, named MVM. There is a cast signature for a David "All Lenk" or something similar. The mounting screw goes through the sig.
Any recollection and/or background stories much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers - Jim
