Description

For enthusiasts of the Renault brand, I'm parting with a little nugget... ... A Renault R8 S from 27 July 1970 in excellent condition... It's type R1136... So it's a genuine example, respecting the original codes and having undergone no modifications.
Originally from Belgium, the car quickly found its way into a collection of classic cars in the south of France around 2000... ... a little 'retirement' in the sun which allowed it to benefit from a dry climate... ... a climate which has allowed it to be in this excellent state of preservation today. It wasn't until some fifteen years later that the car finally made its way back to Belgium... Since then, it has remained part of a collection of classic cars, and as a result, just like in the south, it never sees damp, rain or salt. It only goes out for drives along our sunny roads when the weather is dry.

Let's take a look at the car together to describe it in the best possible way... Mechanically: NO COSTS AT ALL!!.. Its little 1108cc engine is in top form!... With only 40, 000 km on the clock (5-digit odometer), it has just undergone a complete overhaul, with all the fluids and spark plugs replaced, a full cleaning and carburettor adjustment, and so on. The braking system has also been completely overhauled, and the alternator is new, as is the radiator... Next, let's take a look inside the cabin, where everything is as good as new! Floor mats, headlining, upholstery, everything is in excellent condition, without the slightest tear or trace of wear.

The upholstery is regularly treated, which has the advantage that it is very supple and not creaky, as is often the case with cars from those years. Let's move on to the bodywork ... The car has not been welded, it simply received a simple coat of paint some twenty years ago to give it back the shine it had when it left the factory.

Today, 20 years later, having always been kept dry, the car is in excellent condition and has very few minor 'faults' ... ... Two or three tiny, superficial faults, the size of a small screw head, which are normal to see on a 55-year-old car ... However, as the photos show, the car is in excellent condition and the chrome is also in excellent condition.

On the market for older cars, which are now rarer and yet much more affordable than a Gordini, the R8 S is an excellent compromise for the person who wants to buy a small sports car emblematic of the 70s... Whether it's because of its colour, its condition or its sound, there's no doubt that when you get behind the wheel, you'll turn heads!Don't hesitate to come and see it, it's really worth the diversions! It can be seen in the Liège region (4340 Awans, Belgium). Test drive possible Delivery possible throughout France, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and neighbouring countries.
