You're right Numi, it has an England base but I doubt this is an original factory rivets ? There are so many silvercrome or goldencrome Bulgarian Variants.

Cheers Mathias

Hi Mathias,
I agree that the Silver-chrome & Gold-chrome Renaults do exist but they do not come close in comparison to my Champagne specimen.
I had closely inspected the base & rivet and they show no signs of having had a base replacement/swop done.The rivet resembles the spun rivet of the Ford Capri & Vw Fastback.There are no signs of any glue,traffic and/or tampering around that matt area.
I also tried looking for Champagne (Met Tan) Renault specimens in the Bulgarian section but cannot find any.Do u perhaps have any pics to compare with and clarify that they do exist?
