1963 Renault Estafette 800

First introduced in 1959 the Renault Estafette is a small front wheel drive van that originally used a tiny 850cc Renault Ventoux engine that was upgraded in May 1962 to the 1108cc five bearing engine known as the "Sierra' series. Very popular in France they had an excellent payload and carrying capacity for a small van and are now regarded as both collectable and fashionable for use in modern day business as promotional vehicles.

This rare Estafette 800 was built with the upgraded 'Sierra' 1108cc five bearing engine and is described as being in excellent condition with exceptional bodywork showing no rust on top or underneath.

Known as the 800 because they could carry 800Kgs this little vehicle is still well up to the task, not least because it is believed to have covered just 31,000kms from new. It had a replacement speedo at 23,000 kms (which is still present) and currently shows just 10,973kms with service tickets to confirm)

There are no signs of any welding work, rust or replacement panels and is described as mechanically excellent with no known faults. An ideal promotion vehicle for a small business or collectors car to tuck away and let gently appreciate. It will be UK registered by the time of the auction.
