Manual

Gasoline

I imported this car from Holland in 2003. It's a really lovely, low mileage R16. It's fate should not be the scrap yard. I love French Cars, I collect them, but I'm a klutz when it comes to fixing them.  I took this car out one day on a small drive and one of the relays under the hood starting smoking.  It burned up some wires and that was it. The brakes were "grabby" and I think that this somehow contributed to the problem.  But before this happened, this was a car that ran like a top, had very few miles on it and was a wonderful example of an early R16.  I did try to fix it, but I'm afraid I only made things worse by taking apart some parts and not remembering how to put them on again!  I'm very sure that someone with some mechanical ability will be able to get this up and running in no time.  Take a look at the pictures and see what great shape the car is in.  The only things that don't work (besides the above problem) are the passengers and rear left door don't open by pushing in the button on the outside.  Adopt and love this little car.  They're great cars.   For pick-up, you'll have to have a tow service that can winch it up on to their flatbed. The brakes are "grabby" so it's hard to push.  The skates will go with the car. On Jun-09-10 at 12:17:49 PDT, seller added the following information: The car is advertised locally, so I reserve the right to pull the listing if the car should sell before the end of the auction.
