40th anniversary - Arnhem 2001: photos part 10: R4 van heaven

Some more photos from the centre of the museum grounds, where all the vans were gathered.

These F6 models below have the more modern, squared back.

I'm not sure if this is a homemade conversion, or whether it might possibly be the only R4 pickup seen on this site so far. I've never seen one myself and there weren't any others at the event. The exhibition at the museum had some advertisements featuring the pickup, but it seems very few have survived. Perhaps the rain getting in the back has rotted them all away, or maybe the people who owned them never had quite the same affection for them as R4 owners have for the car versions, and so disposed of them without second thought.

A rather nice red and green model. It's only many years later in 2010 whilst reformatting this review and having all the original negatives rescanned that I can now decipher what is written on the bonnet. It says: 'Henriëtta d'Olivat', with some sort of motif above. In fact, the final 'a' of Henrietta still isn't visible and I'm just guessing it might be there.

Many of the Renault 4s at the event sported the logo of the Dutch R4 Club, as can be seen below.
