I have enough unfinished projects in the garage and I'm not sure the missus would take too kindly to another piece of junk arriving since the other two I promised to get rid of last year are still in the same positions as 12 months ago.

I wouldn't think its 4x4, as it doesnt seem to have a back axle,unless it's got two chains running down to each wheel

I would say HI5 is correct this is a front wheel drive car... altough it dosen't mean it would be bad off road those cars we're so light they could go where a lot of 4x4's would never manage

Like a 2cv, thats what I taught when I saw it first.

They produced a 4X4 version of the Renault 4 from 1962 until the end of european production in 1992.

It was called the Sinpar 4X4 (the subsidiary that made the conversion).

They apparently cost nearly twice the regular version and were bought by the national forest service, electricity company and police in France.

[patwicklow]

I watched this about the R4 such a simple car think i will get one to restore

[Capri]

You could do a lot worse - they're thinking of bringing in a 'new' R4, but the old ones are much better. I owned 4 exP7T / Eircom ones.
