Notable as Renault’s first front-wheel drive family car and the world’s first mass-produced hatchback, the 4 debuted in 1961. Intended to appeal to city dwellers and farmers alike, the newcomer prioritised function over form. Based around a platform chassis with separate body, all-round independent suspension and rack and pinion steering, the Renault proved easy to work on and cheap to maintain. Comfortably faster than the similarly utilitarian Citroen 2CV, the 4 evolved through L and GTL variants and could also be specified in Convertible (Plein Air) and Van (Fourgonnette) guises. Arriving in 1978, the 4 GTL boasted an 1108cc engine, Grey front grille, Grey bumpers and Grey plastic side strakes plus (from 1983 onwards) front disc brakes.
Initially supplied by Clifton Garage of York, ‘C132 KBT’ is understood to have been off the road for many years before being recommissioned in 2021. As such, the seller is confident that the current odometer reading - c.41,800 miles - represents the total covered from new. Pleasingly retaining its original interior, the Renault boasts such luxuries as a Blaupunkt Hamburg push-button radio and heated rear windscreen. A rare survivor, especially in right-hand drive, the 4 started readily upon inspection. Offered for sale with V5C registration document, original book pack (including stamped service book) and MOT certificate valid until October 2023.
