Two renna 4's on eBay at the mo, one still on French plates for £500 buy it now, the other with t&t currently at £310!
I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to sell the lowrider and start hunting for a 4! They look like so much fun.

Love both of those Renault 4's - remember R5 Gordinis being great fun so these must be something else !
I'm sure Retro Rides magazine in it's original guise featured one in the same colour - is it the one in this thread ?
They still have a big following in France with dedicated magazines etc.

Every time I see an R4 I'm reminded of being a kid in the 70s and my little short trousered legs sticking to hot vinyl seats. A couple of years ago I got outbid on ebay for one in France with a stripped interior, full cage and an R5 Gordini turbo motor fitted. Probably for the best really.  |

Renault 4s are ace, I love mine (both of them). Did 620 miles in the van yesterday in reasonable comfort and at over 40mpg. They are not too hard to find although prices for good ones are going up considerably, rust can be a big problem but most survivors now will have been repaired to some degree. If you want one then www.leboncoin.com is your friend. If you geta decent one they last forever. Heres my two -   And heres what I got up to yesterday (coming soonish to a magazine near you...)  |

For one that isn't going to need a boatload of welding, probably about £1000+ but probably more like £1500+
Gone are the days when you could pick a decent one up for a few hundred quid

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Theres a few of us going to this in July. With it being the R4s 50th birthday it should be a good event. I'm taking the red one (I think). Its only 700 miles each way, what could possibly go wrong?  ;D |

Wow, is that a Renault 3 I see in there? No, its not. Its a 1962 Renault 4 but is the same spec as a Renault 3 but is one of the very first 4s produced. Owner has only just bought it and is planning to sort it mechanically then run it as it is. |
