The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
A casting that didn't get nearly enough use and is rarely discussed these days! Nice to see one in such good shape. :thumbup:

Indeed. That is the Renault 17 TL. In those years there were at least another two brands making the Renault 17 in 1/64ish scale (Majorette and Guisval). I don't have the Matchbox one because, in my opinion, the Guisval casting is better proportionated.

I lack that one (and the Majorette). I'd love to see some pics of both!

The best Renault 17 ever done from a diecast car brand is without a clue Majorette ;)
