History
The RCCV celebrated its 70th year in 2023, making it one of the oldest Renault car clubs in the world. The club was founded on June the 29th, 1953 by an enthusiastic band of Renault 750 (4CV) owners who arranged a group drive to Point Leo. From this event the Renault Car Club of Victoria was born.
