Title: 697 Engine source UK
Post by: Jerryh on Saturday,February 25, 2017, 04:42:58 AM

Hi

Does anyone know of a source for the Renault 697 engine in the UK, either spares or complete engines? I've been searching on the net and can't find anything, I would have thought there would be someone around trading in these parts as the Renault 16 was sold over here in large numbers years ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jerry

There is one sat in my garage if you are interested, it came with the Europa S2 I am not 100 percent sure of the condition but it was all paint by a previous owner. I think it is the one that came out of it. I have put a cross flow in.
