Comments from the seller
Renault Floride advertising has historically focused on its elegant, stylish design, often featuring glamorous imagery and targeting a sophisticated clientele. Becoming quite rare.
Small French convertible with removable hardtop (with stand). Magenta/silver colour scheme. Soft-top in excellent condition with clear rear plastic window.
Originally 845cc, but re-engined with a larger (but externally identical) 1256cc mated with a 330-03 all synchro, stronger gearbox from a Renault 10 or 12. The Renault Type 330-03 is a highly sought-after gearbox which can handle up to 120HP.
Gear change is a little sloppy due to long control arms but fine when used to it.
Compression tested- like factory values. Gearbox recently removed, checked, new seals, new gearbox mounts, new CV joint bearings. No oil leaks at all! New clutch and throw-out bearing installed. New universal joint caps installed.
Recent service. Recent head-off refurbishment. New carburetor, coil, distributor with electronic ignition, HT Leads, spark plugs and alternator and voltage regulator.
New FM radio with Bluetooth/USB and new speakers. Rewired with extra fuses. New Battery. New ammeter/voltmeter/temp gauge. Interior good (no rips, tears or worn areas). Paint in excellent condition. New water pump, hoses, new accessory belt, recent coolant flush, twin electric cooling fans, enlarged new radiator (aluminum 3 row). Open side air scoops. Brand new tyres x4 (less than 100km use) ,Silk wide alloy 15" wheels, enlarged disc brakes front and rear, new brake and clutch master cylinders (hydraulic clutch) , new brake pads, hoses, rotors and pistons.
Stainless steel luggage rack. Spare tyre. Chrome is excellent. Two horns ("Town and Country"), wire screen stainless steel headlight protectors.
Lots of workshop manuals, spare parts manuals, road tests, magazine articles and receipts. No seat belts or cup holders. No heater or air-conditioning. No GPS, Tachometer not connected. New tail light lenses. New front and rear shocks. New suspension check straps. Battery moved to Engine bay for better starting.
Not suitable for a large person due to small cabin and close pedals. No previous history known as bought at auction 5 years ago. Currently on Tasmania historic registration (non-transferable). Front driving lights not connected. Some scratches on windscreen. Bridget Bardot (RIP) & Grace Kelly photos for illustration only.
