The Appeal

The Renault 4 is one of France's most endearing and enduring creations, a car that combined rugged simplicity with genuine versatility, earning it a devoted following that persists to this day. A 1967 example such as this places it firmly in the earlier production years, a period particularly sought after by collectors of French classics.

This Bordeaux-over-black R4 has had just one former registered keeper before the current seller, and it comes accompanied by what the vendor describes as complete original documentation providing full traceability from new. The bodywork is described as strictly original, with only the hood and front fenders having been repainted following a minor collision during the first owner's tenure. The interior, including the headlining, is said to remain in its original, well-preserved state. Beneath the car, the underbody has been treated with an epoxy-quality coating and is reported to be in good shape. Recent mechanical work has included a new braking system and tires, refreshed ignition components, and an oil change, we are told. With confirmed matching serial numbers, this charming R4 presents a fine opportunity to acquire a carefully kept example of an iconic French classic.
