Postscript

Acknowledgment

I am indebted to many people and to many firms for their freely proffered aid in assembling this Renault Guide. To them all, my appreciation. In particular, I would like to thank Messieurs Sicot and Maroselli of Regie Renault for their repeated assistance and tireless answer service. I owe credit, too, to “Sidelights,” the monthly journal of the Renault Owners Club of America, and to “Valve Timing For Maximum Output,” by Ed Iskenderian, for printed support.

The book itself I dedicate to the legion of Renault fans, throughout the world.
