‘The Originals Renault’ service will help keep brand’s classic cars on the road

Renault is launching a new service to help owners keep their classic cars on the road.

The French manufacturer has announced that ‘The Originals Renault’ programme will provide spare parts and repair manuals for its classic vehicles, across 25 aftersales sites in France by the end of this year.

These sites dotted across France will cover 80 per cent of the country allowing an owner to be within 60 miles of an expert to repair their vehicle.

Arnaud Belloni, chief branding officer at Renault, said: “We are deploying new services developed specifically for enthusiasts and collectors of classic Renault vehicles, allowing them to service, restore and maintain their automotive treasures. It’s a way of protecting our shared automotive heritage, so that we can pass it on to future generations.”

Back in 2022, Renault launched a service enabling owners of its cars to obtain a classic vehicle registration document, along with access to certificates of the chassis numbers, colours and factory options. The ‘Originals Renault’ service marks an expansion on this.

Currently, ‘The Originals Renault’ service is running in eight aftersales sites. Though Renault has only opened aftersales sites in France, it does have plans to install further locations outside of its home nation within the next few years.
