Highlights
- Unique tubular space frame chassis
- Modern diesel VW engine and transmission
- Solid bodywork with light patina
The Appeal
Not often do Renault 4 vans in this condition come around, but this one is not all that it seems. The quirky body sits upon a well made,
tubular chassis, custom built and solid. As projects go, you will not find anything like this anywhere, and with rarity on its side too, it will be a true conversation piece when completed.
The History and Paperwork
- 5 Present
- Just 2 previous keepers
- Currently dry stored
The Interior
- Tubular roll cage painted silver
- Leather VW seats
- A VW Diesel PD Engine
- Original door cards and check straps
The Exterior
- Largely nice straight panels with good solid paint and light
- patina
- Quirky roof mounted light setup
- Modified bonnet to traditional opening style
- High top roof
The Mechanics
- Custom tubular chassis and roll cage made to a good standard
- VW PD130 engine mounted to a Passat 6 speed gearbox
- VW suspension setup for easy parts replacement
- Nice solid bodywork
- Rolling and steering
- Engine loom included
No brakes, axels, cooling system, engine management fitted. This is a mostly bare engine and significant mechanical work would be required to make this car start and drive properly.
Summary
Quite frankly, amazing, this is one retro project not to be missed for someone with the knowhow and vision of what this plucky little van could be. The hard work is mostly done but with a good amount of part finding and figuring out still to do this not a small task but would not doubt be well worth it.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
