Own this charming little French roadster today, presented by Blue Marlin Motors.
The Renault Caravelle is one of the most interesting small roadsters to ever hit American shores. Designed by Pietro Frua while working for world-famous Ghia, the Caravelle is a good looking example of European design.
Powered by a 4-cylinder engine with just 1108 cc of displacement, this little red ragtop is definitely a cruiser. When the Caravelle was new, its closest competition was the Triumph Spitfire. Instead of envisioning a powerful street and strip car, imagine this Caravelle as the ultimate weekend cruiser. You will likely never see another one in the parking lot, at the local cruise in, or anywhere else. The rarity alone will garner attention and looks, and you can drive happily knowing that you"re able to get over 30 miles per gallon and enjoy rowing your own gears with the 4-speed manual transmission.
Fortunately, the Caravelle is also quite attractive. Finished in fire engine red with a black interior, this car is a looker. All of the emblems are present, as is all of the trim. Another interesting bit about this small convertible, is that it is a four-seater. While it may be small, you could easily enjoy the open road with your kids and teach them a thing or two about classic cars in the process. This car will make a nice restoration project for someone. The engine is currently not running.
Despite the non-running engine, the body is straight and solid. All of the panels appear to be rust free. It is unknown whether or not this car was repainted, however all evidence points to the fact that this Caravelle has always been a fun red convertible.
The black convertible top is in great shape, and the boot is present and also in excellent condition. We believe the odometer to be accurate. It is currently displaying 54,388 miles.
Come to Blue Marlin Motors USA today and pick up this unique, efficient, and fun French roadster for a restoration project!
