1969 Renault r8 gordini rhd restored For Sale

This example of these wonderful performance cars of the 1960's era was manufactured (CKD Assembled) by MOTOR DISTRIBUTORS at the Rosslyn Plant in South Africa - and is probably one of the very few genuine RHD R8 Gordini cars ever built. Undoubtedly they were few and far between then and nowadays.

This car; under TYPE / CHASSIS Numbers Rthe details below is now with her fourth owner, who found the car in a uncompleted and stripped state of abandoned restoration - the second owner died during the course of restoration and the third-owner (his son) simply did not know where to start.

it should be stated that the car had always resided well inland throughout her life, specifically in the arid semi-desert KAROO region - this in conjunction the fact a number of body panels were made from "Aluminium" stampings as a weight-saving contribution towards performance - pleasingly meant that the car body and structure was rust free prior to the completion of full "nut and bolt" restoration commencing in 2017.

Another pleasing fact is that this car was never raced on track or rallied in her past and was never in an accident of any description - thankfully because the aluminium panels would definitely show "skin-ripples" if this had been the case.

This car is now absolutely superb, the culmination of just about every R8 Gordini expert collector / restorer in South Africa who came to the common cause of making an exceptional car "again".....!! Is she "Concours de Elegance"? Well you decide for yourself!

PAINT: Total rub-down of every panel before being finished in the correct FRENCH BLUE colour with the dual WHITE over-body stripes.

BUMPERS: re-chromed plated superbly

WHEELS: these original SA-version magnesium-alloy wheels were refurbished professionally and has new tyres are fitted.

ENGINE & GEARBOX: Totally stripped and rebuilt to original specification including brand new or specially remanufactured parts as required. All components, seals, bearings, etc., are in perfect condition and running as if a new car,

INTERIOR: As if brand new, totally reupholster seats - the cushion foams were still very good, new headlining, new carpeting and mats. All instrumentation and gauges are working per original.

A substantial investment was made in ordering new parts from MECCA in France.

Bearing in mind the ASKING PRICE is inclusive of all costs incurred to transport, export, container ship with insurance, and every charge includung HMRC import tax - unashamedly at £36, 000 or very nearest offer that is acceptable to the owner.

I grew-up with one of these cars in the garage, many memories of just how fast and well handling they were back in the day. This car is worth the grin on your face alone when driving it. Please feel free to call me anytime to discuss further - can even arrange the MoT, DVLA, Black plates and delivery to your front door if required.
