Cheap to clear.
Recently imported by myself from South Africa.
UK registered with a V5 in my name and address. Reg. MCY 5O9G. This is my own private vehicle.
Renault R10 1969, RHD. 1289cc.
Light Project.
I have posted plenty of pictures so please check them out carefully.
Have a good look at the roof pictures, then have another look and then maybe another and if still interested contact me.
Good Bits,
First time i have driven an R10 and it drives very well. I am surprised how well the steering feels it is nice and not at all heavy as per many classics (due to the rear mounted engine and gearbox i imagine).
Registered as a historic vehicle so road tax and mot exempt.
Cheap classic car motoring.
Fitted with it, s original Renault 810-03, 1289cc engine, plus a twin Weber carb. This larger size engine (originally from the R12) was only available on the very last R10s, hence is quite rare in a R10.
The SA weather has preserved this car very well. The sills, floors, chassis rails look great, i can see no signs of repairs on the floors.
One of the rare cars to fire up almost straight away after shipping. Engine sounds great and no smoke.
Lights, indicators, heater fan and wipers all work.
Drives very well.
Very straight bodywork.
Speedo is showing in mph. South Africa changed to the metric system in 1970 so generally cars after that have kilometer clocks.
Many spares workshop manual and some papers are included.
Wheels look like they have been "banded".
Bad Bits,
Roof has been damaged during shipping.
Roof lining stained and ripped.
Will need a new battery. Have fitted a working battery, but it is too big for the battery box.
Paint is old, but not too bad.
I am based in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B74.
Emails will be ignored.
You can contact me on the details below if need be,
thanks.
