Renault Twingo 1.2 Authentique

Description

Selling a 1999 Renault Twingo Authentique, original lime green color, gasoline-powered 1.2L engine (no CNG), 3 doors, 248,455 km actual mileage (see odometer in photos). This is a beloved French classic, highly valued for its city maneuverability, low fuel consumption (excellent urban fuel efficiency), and charming design that stands out. Original D7F engine, never overhauled; runs but currently emits slight fumes (requires tuning or inspection of injectors/cylinder head to restore proper operation). I have not made major investments in it recently, as I used it only sparingly. Exterior condition: paint severely faded due to sun and time (chipped on hood, fenders, doors, and lower body panels), several minor dents, scratches, superficial rust marks, and some impacts. External fuel tank cap is missing. Original steel wheels with oxidized rims but decent tires. Interior: original polka-dot fabric upholstery (worn, with minor tears and stains, yet fully intact), dashboard and steering wheel show normal wear, driver-side airbag, original radio. Clean but requires thorough deep cleaning. Mechanical condition: starts and runs, power steering works, brakes respond (though service is likely needed), clutch and gearbox are fine. Front suspension components (shock absorbers/control arms) may require inspection due to age. No air conditioning. Documentation is complete and clear: debt-free, no restrictions, no pending fines. Due to its age, it no longer incurs motor vehicle registration tax. Technical Inspection (RTO) is not current but can be easily scheduled once basic repairs are completed. Ideal for: Those seeking a restoration project (many inexpensive, readily available spare parts) Economical daily city use (fits into any parking space, low fuel consumption) Collectors of 1990s French classics It is neither flawless nor suitable for display in a show garage—it is an honestly used Twingo, exactly as shown in the photos. Immediate private sale. No trades.
