'A rare barn find' is an often over used term in the classic car world, in this case though it certainly applies! The Renault 15 and its sister car the 17 were Renault's coupe answer to the Ford Capri, however largely forgotten and almost extinct today. According to the 'How Many Left' website, just 5 remain on UK roads. This particular example has just emerged from dry storage in a garage, where it has been languishing since 1986. The car has survived very well thanks to the dry storage, and upon inspection the car appears to be remarkably solid and it rolls freely, however the engine is seized. We understand from the vendors that the car was used regularly on trips to Europe, prior to coming off the road and it still sports some period stickers from continental Europe. A really wonderful time warp example of a rare French classic, busting with gallic charm! (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT)
