• Increasingly rare Renault 8 presented in striking Blue with contrasting Red interior
• Imported in 2018, displaying just 77,000km on the odometer
• Offered with 'No Reserve'

Following on from the ever-popular Dauphine, Renault’s next project would be the R8. At that time, Renault was marketing Alfa Romeo cars and Alfa Romeo was building the Renault Dauphine, Ondine (an up-market version of the Dauphine) and R4 under license in Italy. It would therefore be no surprise that the new R8 would have a shape surprisingly similar to Alfa Romeo’s abortive Tipo 103 – a front-drive small car that was shelved because it was building Renault's cars instead.

Renault’s experience with rear engines ensured that it was remarkably quiet, refined and spacious. The new model would soon develop a keen following and, in Gordini form, achieved considerable success in racing and rallying. Although such a success with the 8 and 10 enjoying a 14-year production life, survivors are increasingly rare to find in today’s market.

Imported to the UK in 2018 and presented in the appealing combination of Blue with contrasting Red cloth and vinyl interior, this Renault 8 is offered for sale with just c.77,000km on the odometer (47,845 miles). Fitted with steel wheels and mudflaps, this unusual vehicle is offered for sale with its V5C document, as well as a number of previous receipts and invoices.
