For Sale is a 1966 Renault 8 Gordini R1134, VIN # R11340501655, U.S. Model. The car has had three owners since new, and has undergone a through mechanical restoration recently. Car is very solid, with only minimal surface rust on the undercarriage, and has not been abused like most 1134 Gordinis were.
