Renault
RENAULT 14

5-door 4-seater hatchback saloon.

Strange 'cuckoo' in the Renault nest in the mid seventies, the only Renault to use the transverse mounted, near-horizontal Peugeot 104/Citroën Visa type of engine, transmission in sump, and front-wheel drive layout. Dumpy though efficiently practical styling. Apart from reasonable economy, and 71bhp from 14TS, it had no obvious redeeming features.
