Saw a pic of Borat's film premiere in LA in yesterday's paper, with a great horse drawn rat limo:  Any of you knowledgable lot got any idea what Borat's limo is? Or is it just something they've welded up for the occasion? |

Renner 12. Other than that, I have no idea if it's a coachbuilt limo, or something they've knocked up for the publicity... I suspect it's the latter.
It could be a license-built R12. like a Dacia...

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

The one in the picture is a Renault 16, the one in the film is a Dacia (Renault 12 under license). The Dacia isnt stretched its just horse drawn. Yes the 16 is a waste they could have used anything.

Ah that's where my confusion came from... yes, it's a blue Dacia / Renner 12 pulled by a horse in the film. |

Yeah, real shame, the big beauts. Some of the post soviet era ones (putin still uses one) have survived now.
Such cool machines, RPG proof FTW!11!1!

Unbelievable, Zils get put down after 10 years but look at some of the old wibblepoo over there that they get 40 years out of! I never knew this, but does this mean the really stylish Late 60s ones will be completely exctinct?
