A RENAULT 15 TS in the Spirou album Le gri-gri du Niokolo Koba


The SPIROU albums

If you are interested in comics i would like to recommend the Spirou albums, they are both amusing and well drawn.
The cars in the comics is easy to recognize and since this is a Belgian comic there is a lot of french cars on the streets.
I would especially like to recommend the Spirou album :Le gri-gri du Niokolo Koba by Fournier, in this comic one of the crooks steals a Renault 15 that he uses in wild car hunt where he finally wrecks the car .

Fournier that has drawn this album, has probably studied the car closely even the dashboard is drawn correctly and the "moon buggy " hub caps shows that this car is a Renault 15 TS.
Other well drawn cars seen in this album is a Renault 16 as taxi, Renault 5, Renault Estafette, Citroen DS ; Citroen 2CV, Citroen Mehari , Peugeot 504 and a Dyna Panhard BT.

Fournier has mostly drawn cars from the seventies if you are interested in older cars, check out the Spirou albums drawn by Franquin, for example Le gorille a bonne mine Where you can see Renault Dauphine, Citroen B11, Citroen DS, Citroen 2CV, Peugeot 403 and Dyna Panhard Z1.

I am recomending a visit on this site dedicated to the Spirou comic , there is a special page showing all cars Spirou has driven.
