Norev's 1:18 diecast Renault 30 TX reproduces the 1979 French executive liftback in silver. Doors and bonnet open on functioning hinges, revealing the cabin and engine bay. A genuinely uncommon subject for a classic Renault or 1970s European liftback display.
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Renault 30 TX recreates the 1979 executive liftback in silver, with opening doors and bonnet exposing the cabin and engine bay. The zinc alloy body carries genuine weight, and the liftback's distinctive rear glass profile is rendered in full metal proportion.
The Renault 30 rarely gets diecast attention, and Norev's decision to model the TX variant gives collectors of French executive cars a genuinely uncommon subject.
Opening Diecast Detail on the Renault 30 TX
The zinc alloy shell carries real heft, and because the doors and bonnet are hinged rather than fixed, the model invites the kind of close inspection a liftback silhouette deserves. Opening the bonnet reveals an engine bay laid out to the correct period specification, while the cabin behind the opening doors shows Renault's distinctive 1970s dashboard styling. The silver paint sits evenly across the liftback's sweeping rear glass, a large, curved surface that shows any inconsistency in gloss or panel alignment immediately, and this casting holds a clean, unbroken line from roof to tailgate.
The Renault 30 in French Executive Motoring
The Renault 30 was the brand's flagship of the mid-to-late 1970s, built to compete with German and French executive rivals through a liftback body style that was unusual for the segment at the time. The TX designation marked a higher specification variant, giving this model a genuine claim to represent Renault's period range-topper.
Collecting Uncommon French Classics
This model rewards a place in a display built around 1970s French executive cars or liftback body styles more broadly, a theme still underserved by mainstream diecast. Its opening features make it worth handling occasionally, and the full-size liftback footprint pairs comfortably with contemporaries from Citroen or Peugeot on the same shelf.
