982.0. "RENEGADE ...?" by RUTILE::BISHOP () Mon Mar 12 1990 13:06

    OK,
    
    I'm interested in getting a RENEGADE which is an American design
    jeep. I know that they are quite expensive and am looking at
    probably a 1980-1983 model. Preferably black, and soft top.
    
    Can anyone tell me any dealers that may stock these in both the
    UK, France (Nr Switzerland area), and Switzerland.
    
    And also any little things i should watch out for!
                                   
    Any help would be much appreciated...
    
    Lewis.

    Wasn't the Renegade the model name for the thing which had the bulbous
    "Champ" look about it that was made by AMC/JEEP. If so find either
    an AMC importer or a specialist supplier. AMC were the US Renault
    dealer so that might be a place to start.

    A RENEGADE eh?
    Is this some sort of feable attempt at making yourself look macho
    Lewis?
    Why not get yourself a Chieftain Tank, or maybe you could pick up
    an Intergalactic Starfighter pretty cheap second-hand - both are
    about as useful on european roads as a bloody Renegade.
    
    toot, toot.

    Hi Lewis,
    
    About RENEGADE in France... I'm living in the south of France and down
    here there is a lot of those cars ( I used myself to have a Toyota BJ42
    some monthes ago ). I have recently seen some beautifull ones, a red
    one and a white one, both with black hard-top. Prices were around
    100.000 FF as I can remember. 
    Those cars in France are distributed by RENAULT, and you have
    generally in each town a wide dealer with second-hand cars.
    In some areas in France, 4X4 cars are more popular than in others ; It 
    generally depends on the natural environment, if you have mountains, or 
    like in the south, lots of off-road tracks and a nice weather !
    
    I'll keep a look to it, and if I see something interesting, will keep
    you updated..
    
    cheers,
    cj.

    cj,
    
    thanks for the info. i have not seen many renegades but i do know
    that the 4x4's are really popular out here. I was really looking
    for an english car, because i will probably spend most of my time
    in england, but if you see one for sale over here then, i will
    definately be interested. 
    
    One thing, i am really looking for a soft top.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Lewis.

    I saw an advertisement for a T34 tank in the Exchange & Mart recently
    - a real one, not a Volvo ...

    re ; -1
    
    I used to have a nice little runner which all my mates called 'the
    tank'. It was a Nissan Bluebird Estate. Now i want a higher tank ;-)
    so i can see over the traffic as well as around!
