In case your penchant is for oddball styling as well as getting great fuel mileage this eccentric French vehicle might suit your needs. She is a two owner car that was always lovingly cared for as seen in the photos below. There are a few dings and dimples and some minor dents but she is a 99% rust free CA blue plate and very sound mechanically with around 43,000 actual miles (odometer not working). It has been repainted once some years ago in the original color which has now dulled a bit. The second owner, an architect, who had it for three years, brought it out of a long slumber. Recent receipts for parts, sans labor, from Jacques and other suppliers totaling $1600. Recent work to make it roadworthy: all new brakes, calipers and cylinders, fuel pump, rear axle seals, motor mounts, clutch and transmission seal, shift cushion, gas tank flush, carb rebuilt, full tune-up and NOS front turn signal lenses. Also there is a stack of receipts since the first day of purchase documenting actual mileage and all associated literature. The R10 handles and drives well. It has the larger 1300cc engine. It leaks no oil and doesn't smoke. Tires have plenty of good tread but are cracking. All electrical systems function. Glass is all good aside from a minor wiper groove. Interior is lovely as you can see. Wear to the original pedals is minimal. This car has the optional dash installed radio. The delete panel is still in the glove compartment. Chrome and trim in nice presentable condition but not perfect.  The car has minimal surface rust in the front compartment under the mat as shown. The last owner sprayed some primer on it to keep it in check. Battery box is intact. This is a car you can enjoy right away and continue to restore or use it as a base for an exceptional rally car. The only thing I would recommend is a carb adjustment.  A box of NOS spares, all literature, receipts and manuals included in sale.  There are probably only a handful of these currently on the road but few as clean as this particular example. Buyer must pay $200 non-refundable deposit to Paypal within 24 hours of purchase. Balance in 7 DAYS with cashier's check (must clear my bank before I release title), cash or transfer of funds. I am an experienced exporter and can ship to any foreign location. Approx $250. to get it to port from my home. Buyer is responsible for collection within 2 weeks of purchase or a $5/day storage fee applies, NO EXCEPTIONS. I will assist in the loading of vehicle. I will also take additional photos for serious buyers and answer all questions to the best of my abilities. I want to make certain you receive the car you bid on and won. Car is located an hour's drive North of Los Angeles and can be viewed during the auction period. Title is clear and in my name. This is an As-Is sale.
