Diamond Plate Report

[Renault6owner]

Good afternoon,
Is there a website to check all details from the diamond and oval plate.
For Renault 6, I’m unsure on exact year and modal as I inherited the car. Either 1972 or 1973 and thinking it’s a 6TL
Thank you

I don't have the production figures to hand - but here are are some numbers that might help:

- If it's an R6TL, it should say R1181 on the oval/diamond plate
- The engine plate should have 688 on it (followed by other numbers). If so, it'll be 1108cc
- The top of the gearbox will be square
- Are your headlights round or square?

You've probably already seen the relevant Wikipedia pages, but here are the links:

You could also try here - I'm sure they'll be able to tell you when the car was made:

Can you post photos of the diamond/oval/engine plates?

And for spare parts, this'll be really useful: https://media.franzose.com/books/Renault/R6/286 Ren R6 PR 932-4 1970-74.pdf

I am pretty sure it’s chrome grill and round headlights. However it’s a complete restoration and in bits so I’m just going by the parts that were with the car
