It's very rare that photos make it onto this site on the same day in which they were taken. Perhaps if I was more active myself in the snapping stakes I'd be a bit more spontaneous too, but until that day arrives I'll be sticking to the slightly delayed responses that are usually afforded to all contributors to this site. This image is an exception. Shot on a fine Sunday morning, this 17th day of February 2008 by a friend of the family, Lee Russell, the R4 featured is a copy of a metallic green model that Lee himself used to part own (and which was in a roundabout way the reason this site ever materialised at all back at the turn of the millennium). The photo was taken in Eastbourne on the south coast of England, and the car is obviously a foreign, left-hand drive model in recognition of the number plate and steering wheel position. Do you know who it belongs to? Renault 4s in Britain are so rare now that it's always an intrigue when one is spotted.

Lee's original R4, named Ermintrude by my sister, can be found at number MP1 in the My Pics section of the Gallery. A few others of this colour have featured elsewhere on this site, including one I spotted myself in 2004, just along the coast from Eastbourne at Birling Gap (see number MC82 in this section).
