Very smart and tidy ..even if the front panel looks like a basking sharks mouth scooping up a load of krill .
Cooler and more versatile than a common Vw camper van? I’d say he needs education and to get off his Del Boy horse myself!
For the benefit when the link stops working: 1971 Renault Estafette Campervan. Van was manufactured in 1971 in France and was imported to the UK in 2017 where it was lovingly restored with fresh paintwork and a modern campervan interior. The Renault Estafette is a clever design and arguably cooler and more versatile than the common VW Campervans. It is a very reluctant sale as is a lot of fun to drive but ultimately I have too many cars in the household. The vehicle has featured in the Local Annual Magazine and creates a lot of interest wherever it goes. Estafette Features - Sliding driver's door which can be left open whilst driving. - Front Engine with good access. - Clever French engineering. - 4 Seats with Seat belts. - Left Hand Drive. - Cheap insurance at £120 a year through Sterling insurance. - MOT and Tax Exempt. Camper Interior - Rock and Roll bed that slides out to sleep 2 and folds up to seat 2 inside with 2 out of the back doors. - Electric Front Leather Seats. - 12 Volts Leisure Battery with isolation switch. - 12 Volt & USB chargers in the dash and rear. - 12 Volt Lighting. - USB / CD Head Unit with 6 x 9 speakers. - Interior lined with black carpet. - Storage under the seats. - Options to add a sink, gas stove and table. Engine & Transmission - Engine is strong and used in many other Renault's. - 4 Speed Manual Gearbox. - Front Wheel Drive. - Max speed is approximately 65mph. Bodywork - Re-sprayed in Old English White in 2017. - Holds a good shine. - Some small rust bubbles present in places but these are minor and hard to notice. Wheels, Tyres & Brakes - Good tyres all round. - Brakes have been fully serviced this month. Servicing & History - There is a local Estafette specialist near Finchingfield, Essex who can supply parts and servicing to these vehicles. Parts are also available on various websites and French eBay as they are a common sight in France. - Their simplicity means a novice can easily maintain them. - Service History from 2017. Recent Service - Brake system service. - Oil change. - New spark plugs - Replacement carburetta & tune up so it runs like new. - Timing set correctly. - Replacement CV boots. - Window Seals replaced. - New Exhaust
I like that @Razzyh the thing with these old French ones, apart from being fab, is that they seem to have the headroom to stand up in. I live the Peugeot J7 and J9. Particularly the like this with the sliding front door/s and rear stable doors
I love them but I would imagine the availability of spare parts/repair panels etc is nowhere near that of a dub.
Why would you design a driver's door that slides inside? Where does all the water go if it's been raining? That dash/pod is veeeery Fraaaanch non?
Theres quite a few available that some people might be able to stand up in. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,did I just say that ???
I don’t think that I actually meant you MC, I may have been referring to Mrs Ozziedog who is petitter than petite at about seven or eight stone soaking wet and less than five foot in the vertical category She is a not a big fan of me occasionally mentioning that she is of the stumpy variety Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,did I just get away with it using that tiny tiny fib ?
