1975 model. "Trak Yellow" paint work, with black plastic radiator grill. Full instrumentation (round dials).
Good points:
============
Original, if a little rough;
Registered (but only till Feb 11th 2003);
Motor and gearbox good;
Brakes are excellent after $500 expenditure;
Reconditioned upper wishbones and steering rack;
Spare panels and other parts;
Haynes workshop manual and R16 owner's manual included;
Many receipts and tips;
All mechanical work has been done by ex Renault dealers.
Bad points:
===========
Rust here and there and some dents, but all repairable, with the help of the above spare panels;
Rear suspension needs work;
Cylinder head needs the top welsh plug replaced (common problem);
Tyres will need replacing soon;
Top of fuel tank rusty;
Front door locks have the usual Renault 16 problems.
A much loved car, which has been my daily transport on and off for 8 years, but is now in need of restoration if it is to be used as everyday transport. I do not have the space or facilities to do this myself, or the money to pay someone else to do it for me so, reluctantly, she must go, to someone who can return her to former glory.
Location: Hobart Tasmania.
