The flagship of the Renault 16 range in the late 1970s, the TX embodied Renault's top-of-the-line offering. Equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox, more comprehensive equipment and a more powerful engine, it offered a remarkable level of comfort and versatility for its era.
 
More than fifty years after the launch of the Renault 16, TX versions are among the most sought-after variants by enthusiasts of the model. They retain all the qualities that made this large hatchback saloon a success: a spacious interior, excellent visibility, remarkable suspension comfort and excellent suitability for long journeys.
 
This 1979 example stands out with its attractive Electric Blue finish paired with black and peach fabric upholstery, a combination particularly representative of the period. The seller indicates that the car presents a fine original condition, with sound bodywork, well-preserved underside and good quality paintwork.
 
A few minor faults are noted, however, including slight corrosion at the base of the rear left door and a few stone chips on the bonnet. Despite this, the overall presentation is described as very satisfactory.
 
Recent maintenance work has been carried out to ensure reliability and make the car immediately usable. Corresponding invoices are available in the vehicle's file.
