H reg Renault Traffic Autosleeper 70mph
A Renault Traffic Pop Top Autosleeper passed me today on the M5 south of Bristol (going north)and it must have been doing 70mph. It was an H reg so I was totally impressed. Was this you. Hats off to you.

Re: H reg Renault Traffic Autosleeper 70mph
Had one of those, an RV50, our first A/S.
Bought from Cotswolds and it had 1400cc petrol engine!
Served us well for 7+years ferrying us and many of the 1st Malvern BB round.
Blew up the engine climbing Malvern Well bank with a full load of boys on board necessitating a new short engine from our local Renault garage 'Daniels' in the Wells.
Happy Days!

Not surprised you blew the 1400 up! they are somewhat underpowered for the size of the van.
Ours had the 1647 and I had it to 80 on a couple of occasions. Usually cruised it at around 65 when it would be doing around 30 - 35 mpg.
The Boxer's fuel consumption was terrifying in comparison.

When we bought it from Frank at Cotswolds he insisted we took it for a test drive 'cos as he said it seemed under-powered!
Seemed fine to us so we bought it anyway.
On getting it home to Malvern I decided to have a hands on done by a garage in Powick who pronounced it fine apart from a reduction of pressure in two cylinders. ( Exhaust valves)
Frank said get it sorted and they were to bill him. Went like a train after that for the 6+years we kept it 'till as I said I over-strained it, much to my pockets cost!
Great lightweight 'van though and after the RV50 went we bought a Rapport from Frank, great versatile van except for the lack of fitted cassette toilet unlike its
VW counterpart the Talent
