Oxford 76RN001 1:76 Renault 4

Oxford Diecast Renault 4 Beige

The Renault 4 had an amazing life-span in real life from 1961 right up to the early 1990s, during which time over 8 million were produced.  It was launched alongside its sister, the Renault 3 in July 1961 as a simple economical family car. The Renault 4 came as a 2-door pickup, 2-door van or a 5-door estate car, complete with its opening ‘hatch-back’ feature. Suitable for rural life, farming and village communities,  which had been the domain of Renault’s competitor the Citroen 2CV, the Renault 4 was also geared up for city life, with a good level of comfort, good suspension and with a larger engine. It also had the option of a 3-speed manual or 4-speed manual gearbox. It had a top speed of 65 mph.  A cheaper version omitted the quarter lights behind the rear seats but this option eventually became the norm and the extra windows were fitted as standard.
