Just thought I'd share some of our little old Renaults.

Renault 4 F6 van with 100hp 1400 and 5 speed box:


Renault 4 Malibu:


Renault 4 'buttercup'


Renault 4 Sinpar 4x4 - this is what a car looks like buried upside down in a wood


Renault 5 Le Car 2 Turbo, now restored:


Former daily driver which will eventually be an endurance rally car. Gordini engine and box, discs all round, caged, etc


Enjoy!

Very nice collection!

So, eh, how did the car end up upside-down in a wood??

These are fantastic, thank you for sharing! In the late 90's and in my skateboarding days a mate of mine had a red 4 which we went all over the country visiting different skate parks in, it never let us down! Very fond memories of that particular car.

Also as above, very keen to hear how the car ended up upside down and buried in a wood.

Thanks for the compliments! The upside down car is a mystery. I had the red 4 parked outside my shop and a bloke came in and said 'I've got a 4x4 one of those. It was my fathers'. He didn't know why it was upside down either! Hopefully the 4x4 bits will be built into the Malibu - its unstoppable on mud&snow tyres now!

Love the f6, always thought about a turbo conversion for those.
The r5 is beautiful.

In my student days I fancied a red r4 with starsky and hutch paint job!! ( this was many years ago!!)
