Jide-Renault
Yes it is - as simple as that. Point for you.
The engine is a Renault Gordini.
One of the reasons for posting it is shown below.
Two photos below illustrate the original Jidé (first photo) and the puzzle car (second photo).
The most obvious difference is in the windscreen, the first car having a much more upright screen than the second.
Is the puzzle car a Mk II version?
I'm sure one of our puzzlers from here in France knows the answer to that.....
