Unfortunately, we can't tell you too much about the history of this car. We purchased this car from the executor of a deceased collector's estate. It has no German papers. The origin is from Belgium and therefore it has to undergo a comprehensive TÜV inspection (Bauratabnahme) to be able to register it in Germany. The Belgian documents are available, nothing is known about the further history.\We have been on the road for test purposes with red numbers about 100 km, the engine runs smoothly and the transmission shifts smoothly. The chassis is spongy, may be stat of the art. But it is also possible that the steering is worn out. It feels a bit like a Yank that you have to keep on track all the time.\Two of the Alpine alloy wheels are cracked, these can probably be welded. However, they are still available for purchase as accessories. The body seems to have been completely repainted and makes a good impression, we did not notice any serious rust nests or even rust through. The doors, left more than right, stick out and would probably need adjustment. That's about all there is to report from the pretty Frenchwoman.\Invest in automotive rarities as you can find them with us. We have a colorful bouquet of different vehicles for you.

The German Classic Car Index determined by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) increased by 4.5 percent to now 2,285 points. In 1999, the value was still at 1,000 points. The highest increase was achieved by the Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing from the 1950s, which now easily reaches seven-figure market values. It is followed in second place by the Chevrolet Camaro Coupé from the late 1970s. Third place goes to the Mercedes 500 SEC Coupé from the W 126 series (1985 to 1991).\ However, it is not only exclusive or particularly high-performance cars that are suitable as investments, as a look at the development in value since 1999 shows. In second place behind the Mercedes 300 SL is the duck of the Citroen 2CV 6, followed in third place by the VW Bus Type 2 T2, another formerly relatively inexpensive enthusiast vehicle. Models such as the Renault R4, the Fiat 500 and the VW Beetle also offered good returns over the past 15 years.\ Check out our website.

The vehicle was built from early 1959 to mid-1968 as a 2+2-seat convertible and a 2+2-seat coupe (sports sedan'').\Primarily designed for the U.S. market, it was known outside North America as the Renault Floride for the first four years, but was subsequently given the Caravelle name in Europe as well.\An early prototype was seen at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1958. The final car was unveiled in Paris in October of that year, and production began in early 1959. It was presented to the American public at the New York International Auto Show in early 1959. American buyers, however, had to wait a long time for their car due to delivery problems.\ The body design came from Pietro Frua, whose company was taken over by Carrozzeria Ghia in 1957. Société des Usines Chausson, which became part of the Renault Group in 1959 and was known primarily as a manufacturer of buses, built the body.\The rear engine combined with the rear swing axle caused a tendency to oversteer. The first engine had a displacement of 845 cc and produced 34 hp and an average consumption of 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers[1]. Amédée Gordini revised the engine in 1960, so that it finally produced 40 hp.\When the new Renault 8 was launched, the Caravelle was largely revised in mid-1962 and received the R8 engine with 956 cc displacement and 44 hp. From 1964, the 1.1-liter engine of the new R8 Major was used, which produced 47 hp. From August 1965, output rose to 52 hp by means of a Weber register carburetor.\ Production was discontinued in July 1968. Indirect successors were the Renault 15 and 17 models introduced in the summer of 1971.\
