1965 RENAULT 8 (R8) Major

Renault 8 Major 1965 – 1400 cc – excellent condition – original engine included

I am selling my 1965 Renault 8 Major, which I have owned since 2016.

The car is registered as a ** classic vehicle** and is in excellent overall condition, both bodywork and interior.

No corrosion whatsoever

It has been customised in a period sporting spirit, tastefully done, whilst retaining the charm and elegance of a classic Renault 8.

- Mechanical

It is currently fitted with a 1400 cc Renault engine (sourced from a Renault 18), which provides greater torque, flexibility and driving pleasure than the original mechanics.

The car is therefore particularly enjoyable on the road.

The original Renault 8 engine has been retained and will be supplied with the car.

- Exterior presentation

The front end has been modified with the installation of Renault 8 Gordini 1100 headlights, integrated after adaptation of the front fascia.

This modification gives it a very attractive sporting appearance, in the spirit of the early Gordinis, without of course presenting this car as a genuine Gordini.

The bodywork looks excellent, with a brilliant paint finish, beautiful chrome trim and a very impressive overall presence.

The car is currently fitted with wide steel wheels, which give it a very successful sporting look.

I also supply with the car 4 aluminium GT wheels and 4 original Renault steel wheels in 15-inch, allowing you to easily revert to a presentation closer to the original.

- Interior

The red interior is also in excellent condition and complements the exterior colour perfectly.

The dashboard and overall presentation remain very much in keeping with the original spirit.

I also provide the original steering wheel.

An R8 with character and a pleasure to drive

I have owned this car for over 10 years now, I have all the service invoices for it, the entire braking system was overhauled this year.

This is a Renault 8 with plenty of charm and personality, pleasant to drive, with careful presentation and more spirited mechanics than the original.

It will be perfect for an enthusiast seeking a classic R8 in excellent condition, lightly sportified in the spirit of the 1960s/ 70s, with the advantage of retaining its original engine and original wheels.

Available by appointment.
