Due to a sudden in flux in projects as many of you have seen, i need rather than want - to sell off a few of my beauty's.
The first one is my C reg 1986 red F6 that i have just spent several months re-commissioning. Its has 85k on the clock, good tyres, starts on the button, fab heater, and a good rear body. I am using it every day at the moment. The underside from front to back including trailing arms has all been wire brushed up and coated it special POR 15 paint.
* New front wings
* New head gasket
* NEW TIMING CHAIN
* New hand brake cables
* RE FURBISHED DISTRIBUTOR inc VACUUM ADVANCE
* New coil & leads
* New rear shock absorbers
* New ball joints & drive shaft gaitors
* 11 Months MOT
I have repaired both of the front inner wings with a slightly thicker metal called zintec (its galvanized) however you cannot see the repairs with a glance. They are completely solid now and ready for another many years of service.
The body work is a little marked and dinged bit on the whole is very good for a van, it has not seen your usual builders rubbish and the paint work is very shiney
The chassis has had repairs in the past to the floor and rear longerons but my mot tester is very pleased with the repairs and any inspections are welcome.
The only factor that might let the van down for some is the seats, although still as springy like new, they are tainted, i have removed the covers from the seats and put them through our washing machine but they are still marked.
Mot's Taxed and Insured.
You can jump into this little van and it will take you anywhere at very good MPG. I love it but the 1961 f4 i also love

Shall we start the bidding at around $2250.00 ono
*THE SECOND is my white 1971 F4 van (road tax free)
Like the van above this is also on the road. My dad and i gave this van a new lease of life a couple of years and then i sold it on to a man in Dunstable who is now moving so i recently bought it back.
The engine was rebuilt in 2007, the chassis had a few repairs, we fitted new front inner and outer wings which are very hard to find now, plus second hand side doors and bonnet and we then gave it a re spray. Its age is starting to show again now though as the bottom of the back door is starting to go rusty and there are a few knocks and dings.
I have just replaced the following
* Points, Condensor, Rotor Arm, Rotor Cap, HT Leads, Coil and fresh anti freeze and a new radiator.
This little van cruises very happily at 60 mph and will do more but remember it is only 845cc variant. The biggest plus is the fact it is road tax free. It is Mot'd Taxed and Insured http://www.renault4.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=2660
Shall we start the bidding at $1750.00 ono
Viewing welcome, both vans are in Cambridge. My email address is michaelgeary2003(at)yahoo.co.uk (@) or you can call me on the mobile after 5pm. 07939 219 795.

Many thanks michael
