Share Button

I hope you also read the chapter ii and the Chapter III

My passion for cars 6 started wheeled through Christian Leotard, I think it is the same for Tatjana Dirk Dutschmann… I know very little about this man priori German or Austrian, if not he has attacked again Renault 5 to 6 wheels, in 6×2 from the next photo that I didn't know, before seeing her.

This is the Renault 5 TS by Christian de Léotard (Supposed to be an Alpine R5…) before it passes into the hands of the bodybuilder Lecoq. Tatjana Dirk thought this model still existed, when she became the R5 red by Cathy Garnier with the rear extension like the Matra Simca Rancho.

This is good news. Tatjana Dirk Dutschmann has contacted me and is giving us news about her Renault. 5 to 6 wheels.

The engine was removed from the bodywork for a new restoration and from October 2018, it is planned to continue.

 

Some welds have been redone

Dumbass ! It’s huge actually !

In the meantime, an R5 4 project×4 was launched.

Tires with rims from the 6 wheels are already finished.

 


We look forward to the rest !
