![]() Today's car of the day is Universal Hobbies' 2003 Renault Megane CC ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures on the real car, please visit: Renault Megane ![]() ![]() This was a Renault dealer model released under the brand of Renault Toys. Renault has used both Norev and Universal Hobbies for their dealer models. I think this is a pretty sharp looking convertible, but the addition of the bike on the back is a really neat touch. ![]() ![]()

Wow! Look at the bike rack on the back! What a neat detail to include on a 1/64th scale miniature. It is a sharp looking Megane CC. It I awesome that Renault offers these small scale dealer models from Universal Toys and Norev! |

Yeah, that's a very nice touch. I almost would want the bike and rack more than the car.....but they do go together so well! My first two cars were Renaults.....not Meganes, of course, but the brand does have a special place in my heart. If I remember correctly, the second car (the first was a hand-me-down from Dad) cost $1400 brand new. I'd buy one right now, today, if I could get it for that price. |

That's really cool with the bike on there. But the bike is too small. The wheels look to be smaller than the ones on the car. A 10 speed would be 26 or 27 inch wheels and I don't think that Megane is ballin' on 30s.

Seems like everyone likes the bike and rack... Me too! What a great bit of detail, and to pull it off in 1:64 is astounding. Well done! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

A very different diecast offering, and certainly worthy to be in anyone's collection. |

Doh! I read the Universal Hobbies/ Renault Toys and mixed them to get Universal Toys. Thanks! I like the version with the surf board. I need to research the other models in the line more to see what other fun accessories they might have included on other models. This is one I actually bought locally. He had a few other Renault dealer models but I don't remember which ones. |
