During this period of winter sales, French manufacturers are offering promotions on some of their derivative products, including a few nuggets. Here’s a roundup of the most notable items from Renault to DS to Peugeot, Citroën and even Bugatti.
The 2022 winter sales are in full swing among retailers and automakers are no exception, at least when it comes to their merchandise. French brands apply sometimes interesting reductions on their miniatures, accessories and other official clothing. Some nuggets in the process of becoming “collector” could appeal to collectors.

Latest RS articles at Renault
At Renault, the Online Store associated with the new virtual museum The Originals already displays many items and some of them are offered at a reduced price until February 8th. A certain number of objects in the colors of Renault Sport appear in the catalogue. This sports department of the manufacturer has just bowed out in favor of Alpine, fans of RS badged products can see it as one of the last opportunities to offer themselves official “goodies”. For example, key rings starting at €2, a belt at €5, pens at less than €10, T-shirts and caps at less than €30 or even a display price of €61.25 instead of €87. ,50 €. More original, an RS Christmas jumper is available for €23.40 and a plush driver in Renault Sport overalls is available for €13.14. Let’s not forget the futuristic F1 concept RS2027 Vision in miniature in 3-inch (7.6 cm) format displayed at €3.50 instead of €5.
In addition to the products stamped RS, certain items put on sale in 2021 for the 60th anniversary of the Renault 4 such as kits or magnets are also on sale, as well as some more classic products such as R5 T-shirts, Talisman miniatures and sunglasses, among others.
