The magazine 'hobby' compared two completely different saloons in 1968, the Renault 16 TS from France and the Ford 17 M RS from Germany. While the Renault was made sporty with classic and careful tuning, the Ford was a modular car, but also one that had it all. This article reproduces the original wording of the comparison test at the time and shows the two very different vehicles and their counterparts in many archive photos.
