Identify what this is for 1 point; sorry I couldn't find a better picture:

Arunas · April 13, 2011, 05:39:09 AM

Not a rerun?

Is it? I could find no mention of it on the Search.
If you know otherwise please PM me its address and if it is I'll change the picture!
Thanks

If it's a rerun I'd like to know what it is!

Carnut · April 27, 2011, 07:41:41 AM

The Experts'll know...

Len Moir's Renault 750 based special from Australia, body by J&S Fibreglass

Carnut · April 28, 2011, 05:56:57 AM

Well, yes and no. That would actually be a repost.
What I'm looking for is the name under which it was marketed.
Since you've got this far I'll lock it for your next reply.

barrett · April 28, 2011, 06:12:30 AM

I'd never heard of this until today when I stumbled on this picture totally by mistake whilst looking for something else. I have had a poke around and can't find any mention of this car having a model name, so please unlock it for everyone else to have a go..

Carnut · April 28, 2011, 06:16:35 AM

OK, it's anybody's from Experts down...

Aaron65 · April 28, 2011, 08:33:46 AM

Was it just known as the Moir Renault?

I'm afraid not, no. It had a name..

Carnut · May 12, 2011, 05:48:16 AM

There's a Pro who'll know..

Wendax · May 12, 2011, 06:24:18 AM

It was called Hunter.

I'm afraid it wasn't!

Was it marketed as a Gnat?

Djetset · May 12, 2011, 07:43:16 AM

It looks like the Australian J&S Fibreglass Moir-Renault to me, based on a 4CV.

It sure does; have a look at barrett's reply #5 above!
What I'm actually looking for is the name under which J&S intended to market the car (I believe a tiny handful were actually made, maybe 4 or 5).

No, it wasn't.

Ah, sorry Carnut, I'd missed the previous Moir post $:-\$

Paul Jaray · May 13, 2011, 12:55:02 PM

Reno ?

Otto Puzzell · May 13, 2011, 03:00:11 PM

Beat me to it!

I have it as the Reno 750 Spyder.

Yes!
And I would locked it for you just to get its full correct name before Otto got it!

So I'll be generous again and give you both a point as PJ would have got it and Otto did!

I suppose the idea was to pronounce the name as in 'Renault' rather than as per the city of Reno in Nevada!

Here is the ad:

Why, thank you.
