While Ron Howard's Rush is about the 1976 Formula One season and the rivalry between drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda, this didn't stop them using a 1979 Renault Estafette on set. Well, it doesn't really matter since it has been around in practically the same form since 1959.

And since the movie crew doesn't need it anymore, this adorable piece of French awesomeness will go under the hammer at CarFest South on August 25th. If you think about it, it's highly practical, more comfortable and much easier to fix than Lauda's Ferrari...
