A few weeks ago there was a 1963 Renault 4 on ebay with the Reg RVS343.
I quite fancied the car as it would be a tax free motor and I've always loved the earlier interiors.
Anyway I was helping my friend that day pick up the other 4 that was given away on the forum here and missed bidding on the car.
So I sent the chap a message saying "if it all falls through give me a call"! Two weeks ago he gave me a call said it hadn't worked out and the chap hadn't contacted him so I could have it, I had to check with Judith first so rang back later that day saying yes please, at which point he said the bloke had been in contact and still wanted it. I said fair enough but you've got my number! Yesterday evening he sent me a message saying it had fallen through and I could have it again if I wished, so wasting no time at all I nipped down to Southampton and picked the car up before any other minds were changed!
It says on the Reg doc its a 1963, but we all know it isn't and someone threatened to report him via the ebay messaging system to DVLA during the auction!
Its had its original registration plate removed and now has an age related non transferable plate on it.
Its quite straight underneath but looks like its had a replacement front end at some stage as the panels paint isn't as good a quality as the other panels.
It has 40,000 miles on the clock has a lovely straight interior. Chap I bought it from says the engine has a knocking noise from the timing chain area, so I'll try and get it started and see if Its easily sorted!
Angel be a lovely chap and help me identify the age of the car please?
