![]() Today's car of the day is Norev's 2004 Renault Twingo. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Twingo ![]() Norev chose to model the first generation Twingo after its final facelift for the 2004 model year. This model has since been replaced by the second generation vehicle. Like many other French cars, it seems futuristic looking though the body shell dates back to the early '90s. Anyone else thinks it bears a resemblance to what the AMC Pacer might have looked like if AMC were still around in the '90s? I guess Renault learned a few things from their brief ownership of American Motors! ![]()

Such a detailed cast compared to the Majorette version. How can I get my hands on an example of this? |

Until Go-Velo-City closed earlier this year I'd have pointed you in their direction. Nowadays a European trading partner is a necessity to get Norevs- this one was acquired in a trade with james_autos recently. |

Mark from Mini-Motors bought out the remaining stock from Go-Velo-City. He has Norev and a bunch of Tomicas left. http://www.mini-motorsonline.com/ Wow! This sure is a bright colored green! Guess you never have to worry about losing it in a dark parking lot. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
The "Twingo" name is a portmanteau derived from the words "Twist", "Swing" and "Tango".[/quote] [/quote]I think the car maker spent more time figuring out a name than the actual design which is VERY non original or unique! Edited by ivantt, Oct 8 2009, 09:12 PM.

I always loved the Twingo because I always remember seeing them on holidays in France as a child. Unlike the rest of the Renault range at the time, the Twingo was the only model not to be sold in the UK. It was sold in every other European country in LHD only. Why Renault decided not to sell it in the UK I don't know, but to be honest, it always seemed a little bit pointless as Renault brought out the similarly sized and more conventional-looking Clio in 1990. After they discontinued, Renault brought out a new Twingo a couple of years ago with was more conventional looking than the old model and which would be sold in the UK. But it never took off like the old model....... |
