Here’s something we don’t see every day! First introduced in 1959, the front-wheel drive Renault Estafette van is an unusual sight on British roads. The vendor of this 1964 example informs us that it benefitted from a restoration four years ago, with works including a respray to the current attractive denim blue colour scheme. Mechanical improvements included reconditioning of the gearbox, an engine overhaul and replacement of the brakes.

The interior includes a sink and stove, and has been fitted out using reclaimed wood and re-purposed sack cloth, which adds a fun rustic touch. Ready for use as a camper straight away, it would also lend itself well to conversion into a vintage coffee van or similar.

The vendor informs us that the van starts and runs reliably, and that the underside is ‘rock solid and protected’. An unusual and eye-catching choice for many summer getaways to come – just add your picnic hamper!
