For sale my 1986 Renault 4 GTL with less than 32,000 miles on the clock!
This car was first registered in Jersey in 1986, was owned by some Nuns (I’ve been told) and then by an enthusiast for many years. The car was then bought and transferred to the Isle of Man where it enjoyed occasional use. The car was purchased and shipped to the mainland, registering it as a UK vehicle and having it MOT tested. I purchased the car in December 2010 and it has been garaged since owing to my work commitments.
I suspect the reason it's in such good condition is that it had been garaged for most of its life and undersealed. from early on. It has never had any welding work carried out as far as I can tell and the chassis and body appear solid and original.
The car has recently had a full service and passed it’s MOT with absolutely no problems with the examiner being amazed at the condition of the car throughout. It has an MOT until August 2013. I can have it taxed for the purchaser at cost.
The car is in excellent and original condition inside and out. Some of the door seals are getting old and may need replacing, if you are fussy about that sort of thing, and the heated rear window is intermittent.
So why am I selling it? I had one in my late teens (45 years ago) and wanted to relive my youth. Things didn’t work out and I am retiring next year and have no storage for it. It’s a car that deserves an enthusiastic owner and I just don’t have the time to enjoy it the way it deserves.
I have included a selection of pics of the car - there really are no bad points to it. I am asking (£3750 ovno) reflects the general increasing value of a car of this quality - a couple of higher mileage examples have actually auctioned for more on e-Bay recently. Remember, this car will require no work doing. It is near Belfast in Northern Ireland and I can arrange shipping or have it delivered in an enclosed trailer at cost. Also included with the sale is a Haynes manual, brand new ball joints top and bottom for both sides, a brand new head gasket set, air filter, track rod ends and two new tyres.
I will be on holiday’s from 7th August until 6th September in France. I would appreciate no time wasters please as this is a genuine car. I am not advertising it elsewhere as I would like a genuine Renault 4 person to have it.
Come and have a look and a drive. If you are further away, send an AA inspector who will come out and do a report for you. Either PM me, or phone me on 07710 945464.
PS Sorry about the last pic - i could not get it round the right way.
