Renault 5 Mk I still in production

[RichardIRL]

Did any of you know the Renault 5 mark one is still produced in Iran, with the 1108cc engine, and is known as the Sepand?

Look at this website:

I wonder if this means cheap new engines

Cool!

Here's the closest I could find to an official website. It's the aftersales service company: http://www.parskhodroservice.com/english/sepand.asp

The spec sheet shows coil front springs and worm steering so I'm guessing they've modified it a little. I'm sure they know best. Engine has the 688 designation which is promising.

They are very creative over there. The cheap version of the 405 is actually a 405 body screwed on top of a Hillman Hunter floorpan.
