The Renault 4, also known as the 4L (pronounced "Quatrelle" in French), is a small economy car produced by the French automaker Renault between 1961 and 1994. It was the first front-wheel drive family car produced by Renault.

The car was launched at a time when several decades of economic stagnation were giving way to growing prosperity and surging car ownership in France. The first million cars were produced by 1 February 1966, less than four and a half years after launch;[6] eventually over eight million were built, making the Renault 4 a commercial success because of the timing of its introduction and the merits of its design.

We restored one very well-preserved model and repainted it from rather dull gray color to a much more vivid red color 😉

As you can see, the Renault 4 was already pretty well preserved here and wasn’t rotten, but it lacked “that something”. We threw ourselves into the work and after a very careful and detailed restoration we gave it a new charm.

In the following pictures you can see what it looked like later.
