Renault is celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of its most popular models - the Renault 16.

Described by the French carmaker as “one of the most ingenious saloon cars of its day”, the 16 like the Renault 4 before it featured a lift-up tailgate.

This turned what might have been another small family sedan into something unique at the time and became the basis for a styling feature now common everywhere - the hatchback.

First unveiled at the 1965 Geneva Motor Show, the 16 went on to record 1,851,502 sales in the years that followed. In 1966, the 16 was declared Car Of The Year in Europe.
