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! Prototype Renault (Gordini-Alpine) 002 -Year:1966 -CC: 2 choices of motors : 1296cc Gordini and like it is now 1440cc from Alpine -HP: Choice #1 : 135hp and #2 145hp -Fuel system: 2 WEBER double corp 45 DCOE and 40 DCOE -Pistons: Cosworth in the motor 1440 -Wheels: Delta-Mics 3 pieces -Suspension: 6 Koni adjustable -Frame: Semi tubulaire in steel -Body: Fiberglass -Dimensions: Weight: 450kg.
