Teilhol
Teilhol was a French automobile manufacturer founded in 1958 by Raoul Teilhol as ACL (Ateliers de Construction du Livradois). In 1978, the company was renamed after its founder. In 2006, 2CA (Concept Composites Auvergne) began making parts for Teilhol cars once again. Raoul Teilhol died at age 86 on 18 April 2008. 1970s Partnership with Renault In the early 70s, Teilhol (then called ACL) finalised a partnership with Renault. This was initially to provide parts for current Renault vehicles, for example raised roofs for the Estafette van. Teilhol also later produced Renault 4 pickups. Later, as beach cars such as the Citroën Méhari (which came out in May 1968) became more popular, Renault turned to Teilhol to provide a Renault-badged competitor. Teilhol therefore designed and began producing the Renault Rodeo 4 and 6, and later the 5 too. While the Rodeo 4 was based on the Renault 4, the Rodeo 6 and 5 were based on the Renault 6, with the 5 having a modernised design. H ...

Renault 6
The Renault 6 is a C-segment small family car manufactured and marketed by the French automaker Renault between 1968 and 1986. The Renault 6 (R6) was launched at the 1968 Paris Motor Show, and was intended to be an upmarket alternative to the Renault 4 that would compete with the Citroën Ami 6 and the recently launched Citroën Dyane. It used a similar dashboard-mounted gear-lever and over-the-engine linkage to that used in the Renault 4 and the small Citroëns with which it competed. The R6 used the R4 platform as well as its engine and was technically near-identical, but its hatchback body was larger and more modern. Visually it resembled the larger Renault 16. The R6 was produced in France from October 1968 ''Automobil Revue - Katalognummer 1969'', p. 458 until 1980, continuing elsewhere until 1986.

Citroën AX
The Citroën AX is a supermini which was built by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1986 to 1998. It was launched at the 1986 Paris Motor Show to replace the Citroën Visa and Citroën LNA. Overview Development of this model started in 1983, and was initially also going to form the basis of a sister model from Talbot to replace the Samba; however, the falling popularity of the Talbot brand - coupled with the huge success of the new Peugeot 205 - had led to Peugeot deciding to axe it by the time the Citroën AX was launched, and so the Talbot version never made it into production.
