1968 RENAULT 4L

1968 RENAULT 4L The French icon More than 8 million French and foreigners have been conquered by this tricolored myth. No wonder, the 4L has everything to please: reliable, easy to drive and maintain and able to drive in any environment. This car, as famous as it is, will even have the right to its own competition: the 4L Trophy. Produced from 1961 onwards, it was the perfect answer to the needs of the French middle class who had little money to buy a car. Initially equipped with the Billancourt engine, it is the Cléon-Fonte block which will come to complete the offer, spreading the displacement from 603 cm3 to 1 108 cm3. The Renault 4L will be available in several versions. Among them, the Parisienne, the Export or the GTL. A utility version will also be produced and used as an advertising car. The Post Office or the Renault Service department will use it as such. Today this car is an integral part of the French car culture to such an extent that everyone has a personal story with one of them. This car left the factory in 1968 and therefore has a larger grille than its predecessors. It comes in a beautiful sky blue that highlights its two yellow lights. The chrome is sparkling and there is no rust on the body or the chassis. Inside, it looks like a new car. The upholstery is in good condition, as is the dashboard. The red plastic steering wheel takes us back to the 60-70's vinyl pop era. Ready to hit the road, this 4L will undoubtedly please its future owner.
