Description
The Renault Dauphine came on the market in 1956 and was the successor of the Renault 4CV. The car had an engine with a capacity of 845 cc that was coupled to a manual three-speed gearbox. The engine was 32 hp strong, which was good for a top speed of 112 km/ h. In addition to the standard Dauphine, a Gordini version was available from 1957, also with an 845 cc engine, but with a four-speed manual transmission, 36 hp of power and a top speed of 130 km/ h.
This Renault Dauphine Gordini is finished in black and white painted surfaces with the lettering "POLICE" on both sides. Don’t expect that the heroic car is suitable for a brave chase; with an acceleration of 30 seconds to reach 100 km/ h, you don't really make a fist against shrewd criminals. But with this nostalgic trim and with a real flashing light on the roof (magnetically attached and removable), the Gordini is an endearing car that will always lead to a lot of sympathy and a relaxed chat with bystanders. The interior is finished in matching red and black leatherette. The car is both optically and technically in good condition, although the Skai leather seats show some signs of wear.
