Renault Owners Club of North America
Support, parts & resources for your older Renault
The Renault Owners Club of North America was founded in May 1991, originally known as the “Renault Owners Club of Southern California” with ten founding members. By the spring of 1995, the club had grown to an average of 115 members across the United States and internationally. In early 1996, the name was changed to “Renault Owners Club of North America” to reflect the inclusion of members from Mexico and Canada, as well as from South America, Europe, and the UK. The club’s mission is to preserve Renault vehicles and provide a community for enthusiasts who share a passion for these cars. Today, our Facebook group boasts over 5,000 followers.
Our focus is primarily on older Renault models, including the 4CV, Dauphine, Caravelle & Floride, R8, R10, R5 (Le Car and Turbo), and front-engine models like the Fuego (R17), Alliance, Medallion, and Encore, particularly those exported to the U.S. We also have members who own R4s and other vintage Renaults.
Previously, we published a quarterly newsletter called “Renault News,” covering major Renault events in North America, such as swap meets, concours, and racing. Although we are now an informal group with most of our activity on social media, our website remains active and up-to-date. Our club maintains affiliations with other Renault organizations in France, England, Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Australia, ensuring we stay informed about the latest Renault news. Our Facebook page is an excellent resource for finding pre-owned Renaults, new and used parts, and literature.
After more than 32 years, the Renault Owners Club of North America continues to grow. To meet the needs of our members and visitors, we have updated our website and added new features. We now offer access to back issues of our newsletter and have established an online library containing technical manuals, parts lists, original advertisements, and shop manuals.
What’s in the Newsletters & Downloads Area?
• Newsletter – all the recent past newsletters as well as the current issue are available as PDF files to download.
• Downloads – As many things as we can make available, such as obsolete shop manuals, color charts and articles will be here. We also have downloads packed with old shop manuals, pictures and articles for the older cars that we are now offering to members.
