L'argumentaire de vente :

1956 Renault fregate

2100cc

column shift 4 speed manual

tax exempt

mot exempt

6 owners since registered in the uk in 1984

brand new 6 volt battery 3 months ago

owned for just over a year but up for sale to fund a respray for my classic volvo amazon

in the year before i bought it had a full engine service, new rear shocks, all brake shoes relined & new seals, re cored radiator & coolant flush

extremely solid underneath requires no welding

bodywork had some scrapes & interesting patina

doors are holed around the bottom

as with most vintage cars needs some attention.

window wipers have stopped working in the last year

internal drivers door handle has been snapped (possible repair or available from france threw ebay)

drivers door will not stay shut any more

sometimes jumps out of first gear but has more than enough power to pull off in second

brakes are soft (possibly just need bleeding)

needs setting up & going threw properly as takes a bit to get it to start running but once it does it will tickover, rev, run happily with no overheating or other issues.

has only been moved around the driveway in last six months or so as being third inline for my limited car time means it just sits & looks pretty most of its life so i strongly recommend a trailer to take it away

all in all a beautiful rare old car that would be a great project for someone

any inspection very welcome
