"Very attractive estimate
The Renault Floride was presented at the Paris Motor Show in September 1958. Available as a coupé and cabriolet, this elegant car designed by Pietro Frua was intended to conquer the American market. Derived from the Dauphine, it retained its chassis and powertrain.
In 1962, to boost sales, it underwent a number of changes, including a new 956cc engine and a synchronised gearbox. The bodywork also underwent a number of changes: the side vents were plugged and the rear bonnet was fitted with vents to cool the radiator behind the engine.
In 1963, the name Floride was dropped in favour of Caravelle. In terms of powertrains, it got a 1,100 cm3, 55 bhp engine and four disc brakes - a first for a French car! In the end, almost 117,000 examples were produced during its ten-year reign.
Our example has been in the same hands since 2010. Its general condition can be improved (see condition report), but it runs quite well!
This is an ideal mount for the summer, easy to maintain and presented at a very attractive price!
