Description
1965 – Renault Caravelle No reserve Chassis no. 0126639 French classic car registration document Vehicle sold without a roadworthiness test ‘Very attractive estimate’    The Renault Floride was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September 1958. Available as a coupé and a convertible, this elegant car, designed by Pietro Frua, was intended to conquer the American market. Derived from the Dauphine, it retained the same chassis and mechanical components.   In 1962, in an effort to boost sales, it underwent a number of updates, notably including a new 956 cm³ engine and a synchronised gearbox. The bodywork was also updated: the side vents were sealed off and the rear bonnet was fitted with vents to cool the radiator, which was positioned behind the engine. In 1963, the ‘Floride’ name was dropped in favour of ‘Caravelle’. Mechanically, it was fitted with a 1,100 cm³ engine producing 55 ch, as well as four disc brakes – a first for a French car! In the end, nearly 117,000 units were produced during its ten-year run.    Our example was purchased by a Renault dealer in the early 1970s and has never left the same family since! In 2019, this elegant convertible underwent extensive restoration work – the invoices for which are included in the file – including a full repaint. Today, its overall condition could be improved (see condition report), but it runs quite well! Here is an ideal summer runabout, easy to maintain, offered at a very attractive estimate!
