1961 Renault Dauphine review from Australia and New Zealand
"A forgotten treasure that brings back excitement into driving!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first purchased the car (for NZ$750) the fuel was not reaching the engine, so after replacing the fuel line, and spark plugs, she runs again!
General comments?
With 'exciting' handling on its original tires, we decided to change the tires to new radials that were brought off a friend.
Now the Renault Queen is stable, reliable and with that rear engine, it is really fun to drive.
