Even 1976+, if the black wipers are original. |

Quote from http://renaultaustralia.com/?p=20 "16: TL, TS, TS Special, Manual, Automatic. For the 1975 model year, an upgraded range is introduced. Front inertia reel seat belts, hazard flashers and evaporative emission controls (with a non-vented fuel cap) being included to comply with Australian Design Rules. Also increased imported content is incorporated into the model range. The range features a new black plastic grille, black wiper blades and arms, and new diamond pattern hubcaps. The 16TS receives a new steering wheel with drilled hole aluminium trim, the instruments on the manual transmission 16TS are now French Jaeger instruments. Cibie headlamp units replace the previous Australian Lucas units, the lights incorporating hydraulic beam height adjustment from a rotary knob on the dashboard, the 16TS receiving ‘Kangaroo’ headlights incorporating a H1 halogen driving light. The 16TS Special is introduced as a full-time model replacing the previous limited edition. The Special includes a tinted band laminated front windscreen, tinted side and rear glass, metallic paint, cloth seat facings, and Gordini styled wheels from the 16TX. Both manual and automatic transmission versions are available. 16. TL, TS, TS Special. Manual and Automatic. The 16 range continued unchanged through 1976 before being discontinued and selling through 1977. The reason for discontinuing the 16 range, in the absence of a direct replacement, was the cost of adapting the model for upcoming Australian Design Rule compliance, given its relatively small volume and the relatively short remaining model lifespan." So 1975-77 was same spec with black wipers. Has side chrome and posh-looking wheels, but no tints so not 16TS Special |
