Condition

The car has undergone an extensive restoration, with many NOS parts fitted, suggesting a high level of care and attention to detail. The vendor states it was finished two years ago, and although it's had little use due to the pandemic, the restoration work implies a condition at least in the 'Excellent' range. The upgrades, such as the lightweight radiator and electric cooling fan, enhance its appeal. However, it's not in perfect condition as the color was changed, indicating it's not entirely original. The recorded mileage of 38,856 is relatively low for its age, contributing positively to the rating.

The Gordini was the 'performance' version of Renault's chic and distinctive Dauphine.

Four‑wheel disc brakes appeared in 1964.

This 1966 example has been owned by the vendor for 25 years.

He reports that an extensive restoration was finished two years ago, but the car then had little use due to the pandemic.

During the work, the colour was changed from red to its current vibrant green, with the interior remaining its original red and grey.
