Hi Steve !
She is dazzling like a diamond.
Lucas made you a fine gift, and thanks you very much to share it with us. I like the trick of the shower cabin's curtain, if we open on the right side, we can admired the "head", and on the left side, the "tail".
Très beau cadeau de la part de Lucas, et merci Steve de nous le faire partager. J'aime bien l'astuce du rideau de douche, ouverture à droite, on admire l'avant et à gauche l'arrière.

Thank you. As long as you all let me share, I will continue to do so.
Every time I drive the car, I magically become 17 again!
Lucas did a great job with the pictures. She makes the car look better than she does in real life. Glamor car photos
She is like the fountain of your for me.
I hope you all have a great day!!
Steve

Hello my friends.
Today after three years, it has finally happened.
This was the very first car that I found. Truth be known, she found me
Here is the story, the owner of this car actually found me from a post I made at the start of my search on the US website for North American Renault owners.
The owner who is a member here is a wonderful person. I would say after three years we have formed a friendship through our cars and I have very much enjoyed his journey in getting the car back on the road.
You guys have helped me, I have helped him. he has helped me. Its been wonderful!!
Richard decided he was ready to part with the car a few months ago, and let me have the pleasure of being her new caretaker.
Today I paid for the car and if I am lucky, tomorrow she starts her journey from Canada to Boulder Colorado.
I share with you my first picture, hopefully the first of many. She will have her sister waiting for her. I felt this day would always come, this is why I choose my screen name Also she is the same color as our 1974 17 Gordini from so many years ago, I wish I had a picture of her, but I have her to photograph now.
Thank you friends for all your help!!
Steve

Thank you guys, I took her for her first real drive today. It runs lien at our altitude.
I will work on tuning her, I appreciate any suggestions.
Richard the previous owner says the ECU of the Bosch D Jetronic Computer has a setting for high elevation. Can any one verify if this is true?
Pictures and video to follow.

I wonder if Robert has any Renaults left?
Did he move to France?
Cheers,

It's great!
Richard has owned it so long, and loved it so much. Why he's decided to sale it?

Its a long story, but here is the short version. It starts 39 years ago when Richard bought the car and restarted 3.25 years ago when he reached out to me in response to my post about interested in finding a Renault R17 Phase 1.
Richard had not had the car on the roads for years. He needed to get her running to see if he was still in love or ready to sell her to move on and find someone to keep the memory going.
We correspond for 3 years and last summer with some help from me, he got the car on the road. He decided after showing her, he was ready to pass her on to me.
He set a price and I agreed. No negotiating.
I was lucky to have a friend who was able to deliver her. Almost 3000 Km's in an enclosed trailer. I got so many spare parts, its amazing.
I will do an inventory and offer to my friends here. Interesting I get to see the differences between my R1313 1973 and R1323 1974. I think my car is closer to the R1327 on the fuel injection system. It is D Jetronic but had differences.
I will share more pictures later.
I hope this helps.
Steve
