The professional seller offers for sale this 1986 Renault 4 TL, powered by a 1008 cc four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. Few cars have served as many people in as many places as the Renault 4, and this late example of the TL version is a charming reminder of why. The Renault 4 was introduced in 1961 as the French answer to the Volkswagen Beetle and the Citroën 2CV: a simple, roomy and versatile hatchback with front-wheel drive, a long-travel suspension and a practical tailgate. More than eight million were built before production ended in 1992, and the TL became one of the most popular versions in the range.
This example was built in 1986 and, according to the seller, was bought from its first owner in Spain, a gentleman and member of a local old-timer car club who kept it in a garage and looked after it with great passion. It was imported to the Netherlands this summer and, as the seller reports, has recently been repainted by a professional company. The white body is paired with a grey cloth interior, a rubber-matted floor, the typical Renault 4 dashboard with its colourful warning lights, and a gear lever sprouting from the dashboard. Details such as an Escudería badge on the grille and the small plaques on the dashboard hint at a life spent with an enthusiast. The odometer shows 185000 km.
The seller states that the Dutch APK (MOT) is valid until July 2027 and that the car is exempt from road tax in the Netherlands. With its light weight, simple mechanics and unmistakable character, the Renault 4 remains an easy classic to live with, and a welcome companion for relaxed Sunday drives or a trip to a classic car meeting.
