40th anniversary photos - (part 2) more from the campsite
Here's some more from the same field I was parked in. This first
one appears to be in pristine condition, and it has the grille that most people
seem to favour. Of all the grille types that adorned the front of Renault 4's
over the years, it seems people prefer this predominantly 70's chrome version
with the single horizontal bar, and the Renault logo positioned to one side.
Perhaps we'll have a vote about this on the site one day when we're really bored.
Ah, now R4 buffs amongst you should notice what this is.......it's
a Parisienne of course. About 3 of these highly desirable special editions turned
up to the event. They were most notable for the wicker trim on the sides, and
some had a tartan style trim. They were only produced in the mid sixties for
about 3 years, and are now worth a fortune if preserved in good condition. Unusually,
they were all black, which is not otherwise a colour ever really used for the
Renault 4.
This red GTL was one of only about 6 British vehicles at the event,
and belongs to Clive from England. It was in very good condition, and his top
box was a quite brilliant addition not spotted on any of the other R4's.
Another spanking example, this time in the form of an F4 van.
One of the other British right-hand drive cars we found (Ssshhh!
Don't mention the reversing lights!) Maybe they only ever drive forwards.
