Description
I am selling this Renault 16 type 1150 from June 66. It is a rare export version that was destined for Africa, Central and South America and the Arabian Peninsula. It has special features such as a higher body height, reinforcements under the body and in the engine compartment, a ventilation hatch in place of the original grille, air vents in the passenger compartment near the quarter windows, and Renault 4 hubcaps. This car was immobilised for many years and requires a major overhaul (tyres, brakes, cooling system, silentblocks, cleaning of the fuel tank, etc).
She has spent her entire life in the Hérault region of France, where she has been very well preserved and is free of rust in all the usual places, except for a small amount of perforating corrosion on the front cradle, no doubt due to a battery acid leak. The previous owner had a coat of paint redone, which is not the original one, It is originally a grey 654 The interior is in perfect condition for a vehicle with 158, 000 kms (5-figure odometer) Skai upholstery in perfect condition with no damage, as well as the roof lining I bought this car to get it back on the road but as I am moving I will no longer be able to store it and I therefore intend to sell it.
It is registered in the SIV format and has a collector's registration number. It is an excellent basis for a restoration of an unusual R16 model. Of course, I do not wish to exchange it. Please do not make any crazy offers.
