1962 Renault Dauphine 1093 No reserve

1962 Renault Dauphine 1093 No reserve - Genuine and highly sought-after 1093 version - Fifth car produced - Mechanical upgrades - Ideal for historic racing - No reserve According to a record from the 1093 production register, this Dauphine 1093 is believed to be the fifth example produced, which makes it particularly interesting amongst the early cars in this series intended for racing. As a modern and historic rally driver and a great enthusiast of the Renault brand, the current owner acquired the car some ten years ago and subsequently had the upholstery restored. According to information available on Histovec, the previous owner seems to have kept the car for almost nine years, making it possible to trace a significant part of its history. The car is now fitted with a front-mounted fuel tank and a five-speed gearbox (Type 353) sourced from an R8 Gordini; the latter being particularly sought-after and ideally suited for dynamic driving. The original gearbox is also included with the car and can be refitted by the next owner if they so wish. This Dauphine is in superb working order and is currently in an attractive overall condition, both aesthetically and mechanically. As one of the earliest production models and attractive due to its specification, this Dauphine 1093 is a particularly charming example of this iconic French sports car. Photos © Antoine Lapierre
