The Renault R8 (later just called the 8) was a small sedan for the common man launched in 1962 with boxy styling and a chassis based on the curvy Dauphine platform. The R8 used a Beetle style rear engine / rear drive setup and was slow in stock trim, but Renault released a Gordini version that was pushing almost 100 horsepower and a legend in rally races. Today's blue thing isn't an original Gordini, but it's got a fuel injected big bore engine and should be fun on original skinny tires. Find this 1970 Renault 8 offered for $6000 CAD ($4419 USD) in Quebec, Canada via kijiji.net. Tip from Erik202.

ReplyDeleteThe photo of the doorsill-flor seam reminds me of a friends saying about surface rust. "All rust is surface rust. The problem is when there are surfaces that should not be there near where other surfaces are missing.
