	These are getting rare now. I see you've already discovered the Renault 4 forum. Can't really advise anything other than keeping an eye on the forum there. I'll keep my eyes peeled in our classifieds but haven't seen one for a while.

	ok cheers yup I'm looking on there too maybe i should get a 2cv they are more common although the boot not big enough,which also might be the case for the R 4 as ive not actually been able to even look inside one yet !

	Do you mean the one that looks a little like a moggy? 4cv? A friend of mine has one although it's near concours so probably big bucks James

	I know I'm starting to sound like a stuck record but a Dyane offers the same sort of practicality (albeit not the performance) of a R4. They are a little easier to find and support is much better - always feel a bit sorry for the R4 which just doesn't have the following of the tin snail.

	do the seats fold up like the R4 though to give as big a boot>? i love those 4cvs with the suicide doors but i have to have something cheaper and practical really or else i cant use my old excuse , "they are all for work and the total of all my old cars only add up to a half decent new car"

	Yup. Most later Dyanes have a folding rear seat. Two bolts and you can remove it too! You can roll the roof back for really big stuff. 4CVs are lovely but not very quick and are very cramped. I'd still love one though!

	been looking at a few pics the boot only opens up not like the hatch on a R 4 so I don't think it will be any good for me the 4cv is way too small but they look great I was at a car show and there was a lovely original one on show,i even went back for a 2nd look it was so nice! almost thought about selling the van to get one!

	Eh? The Dyane has a tailgate like the 4. ive never taken a close look but doesnt the dyane have a half opening rear tailgate with the window that stays in place above it? where as the R4 the whole hatch opens up ? or have i got this wrong wheres that auction place it must be miles away as i don't reconised the name of the place its at

	You're thinking of the 2CV which is as you describe. Dyane has full tailgate. Have to say though, that Renault 4 van looks ace! They are funky machines, especially if they've got the pop-up hatch above the rear door for tall stuff!
