Just been and done a really foolish thing and paid 1600 euros for this little 850 R4 without "really" looking at it properly o_O. I just saw what I wanted to see and took her home. Well the search for parts begins then but I have the chance to buy HY435 which was the car before her (also white) sold from the Renault dealer here in 1977 ! It is only 400 euros so might be worth it as a donor car as I have no idea where I will find a speedo head and heater motor here as the dealers have nothing in stock on the island.
Started shopping on ebay for wheel cylinders and brake shoes...( the brakes are non existent ) and apart from needing a carb rebuild as it only runs on 1/4 choke and some new light lens ( the indicators are sun faded almost to being clear ) and some window surrounds to stop the ones fitted falling out it shouldn't be too long before shes on the road ......................well thats the plan
