40th anniversary - Arnhem 2001: photos part 14: the Renault 4 camper van!

No, you're not having delusions! This really is a very special edition R4F6 camper. It was one of only twelve made, and was manufactured in England around 1979, according to its owner. It had the glorious honour of picking up two of the four awards at the Concours d'Élégance, both for the Best Special Edition R4, and for the Best R4 by Public Vote. As you can see from the first picture, below, it is all kitted out with appliances and furnishings, although I don't think the cute kid in the back came as standard.

The owner tells me that the trailer wasn't part of the original vehicle, and I think he said that the canvas roof had also been replaced.

The camper was inviting a lot of attention, and I'm sure every R4 lover secretly wants one. If anybody knows anything of the remaining eleven (or not remaining, as I suspect will be the case), please let me know.
