Renault-Gordini prototype of José Esteves
Hello,
I own since about fifteen years a prototype Renault-Gordini (1966) bought from a retired french pilot who raced in 1930 with a Bugatti. Restored in 1985 this car is still in its original apperance.
Her history is mostly North-American having raced mostly in Canada; Grand-Prix de Trois-Rivières, Mont-Tremblant, Mont Sport etc... and some races in the U.S.A. She followed all the evolutions concerning the motor (Gordini-Alpine) from 1966 to the middle of the 1970s.
Here are some informations about this car that I keep only for the pleasure of the nice mecanic and for the pleasure of the eyes even if sometimes I wish I could put her on race track where she is at ease!
