In 1973 they were world champion, having won the following rallyes:
Monte Carlo
Portugal
Marocco
Acropolis
Austria
Coupe des Alpes
San Remo
Corsica

They were very successfull in other years too, but the list would become too long.

you mean this car.
Indeed after Renault took over the factory the sequence changed but I don't think Jean Redele was happy with it.

To enjoy a 110 it has to be seen in action.

These rally cars were NOT made to sit and look pretty and polished.
They are prettiest when going sideways in snow - no othere way of driving them around corners !!

I'll help with a few photo, but go find the videos yourself
