1967 Renault 4 Chassis number 5611109 - Charming car - More advanced 1967 version - French registration - Without reserve Erratum: driver and passenger floorboards are corroded More than 8 million French and foreigners have been won over by this tricolored myth. No wonder: the 4L has it all: reliable, easy to drive and maintain. It can be driven in any environment. Famous as it is, the car even had its own competition: the 4L Trophy. Produced from 1961 onwards, it was perfectly suited to the needs of the French middle class, who had little money to buy a car. Initially fitted with the Billancourt engine, the Cléon-Fonte block completed the range, extending the engine capacity from 603 cm3 to 1,108 cm3. The Renault 4L will be available in several versions. These include the Parisienne, the Export and the GTL. A utility version was also produced and used as an advertising car. It was used by the Post Office and the Renault Service department. Today, this car is such an integral part of French motoring culture that everyone has a personal story to tell about one of them. This example left the factory in 1967, and features a larger grille than its predecessors. It comes in a magnificent sky-blue that highlights its two yellow lights. The chrome is clean, while the upholstery is in fine condition. The red plastic steering wheel takes us back to the vinyl pop era of the 60s and 70s. Its technical inspection revealed a floorboard with corrosion. 1967 Renault 4 Chassis number 5611109 - Charming car - More advanced 1967 version - French registration -No reserve More than 8 million French and foreigners have been won over by this tricolored myth.
