Highlights

Affaires variant with sliding roof
Holds the ASI Targa Oro (Gold Plate) certificate of identity
Registered in Italy and offered with Revisione

The Appeal

The Renault 4CV is one of the most significant cars in French automotive history: the plucky little rear-engined saloon that mobilised post-war France. The Affaires variant, distinguished by its sliding roof, adds open-air versatility to an already charming package. Nearly seventy years on from its introduction, finding a well-kept example is an increasingly rare prospect.

This 1956 example is based in Viterbo, Italy, and benefits from ASI Targa Oro certification: the gold-level identity recognition from the Automotoclub Storico Italiano, confirming its historical authenticity. Mechanically, the vendor states the car runs well and is ready to be used straight away.
