Renault 25 V6

A huge and special find for me!! I spotted this on the opposite side of the road, while heading in the other direction and as soon as I saw it, I just had to do u turn to get back there and take some pictures!!

 

After taking a few shots, I went to walk off, before a noticed a guy walking out from a shop and heading towards it. I went back to ask him if he was the owner the car and sure enough, he was!

 

Andrew is his name and he is the second owner. This is only one of two R25 V6's in Australia and he has the other!! The R25 was not sold in V6 spec here, all Aussie spec R25's, were 4 cylinders only. This one was originally imported from the UK, so this is actually a UK spec R25 V6!

 

This car is in beautiful condition and is a true credit to Andrew for keeping it this way. Along the way, he has had to make some modifications, such as changing the speedo from miles per hour, to kilometres per hour and has done this by installing an Australian spec 4 cylinder R25 dash. He's also installed a genuine R25 Air Conditioning unit, again from an Australian spec 4 cylinder R25 and the full leather seats inside are like new!

 

I could only speak with him for a few minutes, as I was running late to met up with some friends, but I'm so glade to have stumbled across this beautiful example. Just wish I could've chatted a bit more about the car.
