40th anniversary photos - (part 23) see if these 'jog' your memory
Here's another picture of the yellow submarine, with a Renault 6 on the right
and the second of the two 'Jogging' models on the left.
You can find the other 'Jogging' model in part 17 of this section.
As previously mentioned, one of the advertising posters designed alongside the
launch of this car in 1981/2, was on display at the exhibition in the museum,
and featured some ridiculous posers kitted out in matching jogging costumes.
To make the car on display here more special, the owners seen below were attired
in those very same costumes from the advert, with the jogging logo on the front
of their tops, and original tracksuits, trainers and headbands.
Full marks to the owners then for effort and getting in the spirit
of things. I believe they also scooped up the award for the best R4 after 1980
in the concour d'elegance. These jogging models with their blue and white styling
and Day-Glo style trim and interior are now highly desirable special editions.
Another earlier special edition was the 'Safari', and some pictures of one of
these will follow in a few pages hence.
This car was the winner of the first awards category for R4 models
pre 1980. Click the link at the bottom of the page for more pictures.
This car can also be seen in part 3 driving
through the streets of Doesburg during the Saturday tour. It's very unusual
because not only is it a vivid tangerine orange, but underneath it is an old
60's model with the early front grille. Another photo follows in part 24.
