Saw this pic on Skamanfrank's thread... Did some further reading... figured it deserved a thread of its own. I can't take credit for finding it, as I say it was in Skamanfrank's thread. DAMD in Japan have produced the Renault 4-styled car based upon the Suzuki Lapin / Mazda Spiano, called the Ancel Lapin. Official site

Works from some angles, not others.....really needs those pram-handles on the front corners, they are so iconic on R4's.

.really needs those pram-handles on the front corners, they are so iconic on R4's. I agree, looks like they are using the facelifted front end. The last Renault 4 I saw was a K-plater (1993?). I'd love an original R4. But one of those would be very cool too!

That looks quite nice. R4 was the first car I ever worked on, 16 year old work experience at the Renault main agent in Whitby.
Did the pram handles serve a purpose?

(new but look oldskool) yea like the fiat 500 and the golf 1 in southafrica, and yes the Dodge Challenger. i dunno i don't like the new Beetle, Sirocco or the Mini(they don't look retro) as for the new mustang its too aerodynamic to look retro ;D *goes off to open new thread*
