Renault 8 Gordini R1135

This Car

• Now UK registered and available for sale is this fully restored example of the iconic Renault 8 Gordini – the sought-after second series “1135” model.
  • Fitted with the later 1255cc, 100hp engine, twin Weber carburettors, and twin headlights – all distinguishing features of the facelifted version.
  • Cross-flow cylinder head and close-ratio gearbox carried over from the earlier 1100cc model.
• Recently treated to a full body-off restoration and mechanical overhaul. The result is a car that presents in excellent cosmetic and structural condition throughout.
• Factory-fresh underbody with no corrosion, straight panel fit, and high-quality respray in its original Bleu de France – the only colour ever offered for this model.
• Period-correct Ronal alloy wheels complete the look.
• The car was sourced from long-term ownership in Sweden and has since been officially registered for the road here in the UK. While the history file is limited, the quality of the restoration speaks for itself and is evident on close inspection.
• A rare opportunity to acquire a sharp, road-ready example of this legendary French sports saloon.
