We bring you the Renault R10! This was the only somewhat changed successor to the larger-engined “R8 Major”, which means you get an 1100cc engine and, well, a non-kinked front end.
This is a claimed low mileage, unrestored car and there is no mention of trying to start it or whether the engine is seized. Inspect well and buy cheap, my friends!

Apparently, the round headlights make this an ‘early’ R10. Yes, the licence plate comes off with its panel if you want to access the spare. Huh.
The interior photo angle choices leave something to be desired, but this doesn’t look too bad. The driver’s seat should be fairly easy to recover.
No, US domestics were the only cars with horizontal speedometers. If they stole the idea, they probably took it from Volvo. Sadly, the Jaeger that makes gauges isn’t the same one that makes the booze. I do know that my 2001 Peugeot 206 had similarly branded gauges, however.
Just in case your hand doesn’t fit in the armrest slot, there’s a really overdone door pull to help you close the door.
Hmm – no engine in the front compartment, which means this is not technically a firewall. The “Special USA Made in France” decal may be original – they did that sort of thing. Maybe the seats are firmed up to sag less with our fat asses in ’em?
Remember the spare tire location and those vents on the “trunk” lid? Yep…the engine’s back here.
1.1 liters and about 50 horsepower. Yowza!

This auction is for a 1969 Renault R10. This car is a one owner vehicle, in original unrestored condition with documented 45216 miles. Black California plate car.
This car is not roadworthy and needs work. With very minor effort you’ll have this car running again.
The body is fair with very little rust, floors and rockers are solid. The body is fairly straight without major dings or dents. The interior is original and you can see the condition on the pics. The driver seat bottom is bad, all others are pretty decent. The paint is original and has sun damage. The front signal lenses were missing, but I found some and will install, of course
I try to show everything in the pictures.
Please look very closely at the pictures to get an idea about the condition.
