Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This original UK right-hand drive Renault has had three owners from new and a warranted mileage of 94,000. It benefits from recent work including new wings, clutch, exhaust and brake pipes, however, has also been subject to some welding.

Condition
6
The car is described as mostly original with virtually no corrosion and the engine and gearbox running like new. However, it has been subject to some welding over the years and recently new wings were fitted, along with a new clutch, exhaust and a couple of brake pipes. This suggests some reconditioning has been done, and more may be required to bring it up to excellent condition.
