About the Renault 30 TX Silver Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Renault 30 TX in silver reproduces Renault's late-1970s executive liftback with opening doors, hood and trunk. The 30 TX combined flagship comfort with a hatchback body, an unusual choice for its class. A distinctive French classic for collectors seeking beyond the common sedans.
Renault took a different path from its German rivals with the 30 TX, wrapping executive-class comfort and a V6 engine in a practical liftback body rather than a conventional three-box sedan, and Norev's silver diecast rendition preserves that unusual proportion.
Norev's Opening-Panel Diecast Construction
This casting is zinc alloy, and the weight in the hand signals the durable construction Norev applies across its diecast catalog. The doors, hood and trunk all open, letting the 30 TX show off both its long, sloping tailgate glass, unusual for a flagship model of its era, and the cabin appointments that justified its position at the top of Renault's range. Diecast tolerances mean the panel gaps run a shade wider than a resin equivalent, but the working hardware more than compensates by letting collectors display the model open or closed depending on what they want to showcase. The silver paint carries a clean, even finish typical of Norev's mid-tier diecast work, giving the liftback's sculpted flanks good definition under display lighting.
A Distinctive French Flagship on the Shelf
At roughly 24 to 25 centimeters, the 30 TX's liftback proportions set it apart from the sedan-bodied German executives it competed against in period. Renault's decision to build its flagship as a hatchback was unusual for the late 1970s, when three-box sedans dominated the executive segment, and that engineering choice remains one of the more interesting footnotes in French automotive history. Displayed open, the model reveals cabin detail that speaks to Renault's ambitions in a segment it never fully conquered against Mercedes and BMW. Set beside more common Peugeot and Citroen classics of the same period, the 30 TX adds a genuinely different silhouette to a French collector shelf.
