The Appeal

With its light weight and decent handling, Renault’s boxy R8 was always ripe for more power. French buyers got the ‘S’ and Gordini models while those in Spain got the FASA-Renault built ‘TS’, which was similar to the French S model.

This car has been extensively restored and developed as a TS Tribute with elements of the two faster French models. Finished in classic Gordini light blue with racing stripes it is in fantastic condition. It is well detailed too, sitting on wider white wheels beneath enlarged arches.

The vendor reports that it has covered less than 2,000 kms since completion. It presents today in great condition with a neatly detailed interior featuring black seats with a classic-style digital radio on the dashboard.

The car is sold with current Spanish ITV valid to 15th October 2025. It has been recently serviced including oil and filter.

The vendor says:

"Incredible to drive is a car that for its weight and power is insane."
