The British
Parisienne!  | see below | Oliver Webb |
One of the most rare and treasured special versions of the Renault 4 was manufactured over a relatively short period of the car's life in the sixties, and very few examples survive today. The Parisienne was an aesthetically modified R4 featuring, amongst other things, wicker panels on the sides and rear of the car, and themes based on popular fashions of the time. The chances of unearthing one of these models in the UK are slimmer than one of the Elle magazine models used to advertise the car in its heyday, but in 2008 I was contacted by a reader who offered the next best thing.
