Equipment
Original Engine and removable hardtop
Condition
This Renault is an older restoration. Engine is correct and has been detailed. Vehicle was listed as hardtop but is a convertible with a removable hard top. The soft-top is an older replacement and shows wear and tears on connecting corners. Paint shows bleed thru and has dings and chips and touch ups all around the car. Brightwork is fair, bumpers are bright but side trim shows wear. Glass is good but rubber seals are cracked. Tires have been replaced but are of original style. Engine has been highly detailed and engine compartment is repainted. Undercarriage shows wear but is clean with no attention to detailing. Seats and dash have all been replaced and are good. This is an older restoration that has been cleaned up for a quick sale.
Market commentary
Renault made only one impression on the American market: a bad one. The Caravelle, however, is a pretty little boulevardier, like a grown-up Jolly. This Renault's presentation mirrors its build quality, but both buyer and seller should be happy.
