Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live 2025 on Sunday the 1st of June, Bicester Motion, OX26 5HA.
Charming Plein Air-style Renault 4 (R1123) conversion, imported to the UK by the current owner and presented in very good, usable condition
Originally owned by an elderly gentleman in South Africa, where it was cherished for many years before being exported
Extensive 2025 recommissioning work includes skimmed and pressure-tested cylinder head with new water distribution tube, new top ball-joints, steering rack gaiters, suspension bushes, brakes stripped and cleaned, new oil and filter, reconditioned alternator, and a new windscreen
Tyres in excellent condition, and whilst the paintwork is not concours, it remains highly presentable
Known imperfections include dipped beam currently inoperative and no bonnet stay or jack
Offered at half the cost of a Mini Moke yet equally as distinctive, this Plein Air conversion is finished to an impressively high standard. A rare and engaging classic, equally suited to coastal drives or eye-catching promotional use.
