The seller offers for sale a 1957 Renault 4CV Sedan, a charming post-war French classic in authentic condition. Purchased in Germany and imported into Switzerland with customs clearance, this example is registered as a certified Veteran vehicle and remains valid for four more years. The car retains its original blue paintwork, with only the bonnet and one fender repainted for cosmetic reasons. The engine runs smoothly, starts easily, and shows no smoke or unusual noises. The gearbox shifts precisely, and the electronics function correctly. The interior has been reupholstered in original fabric, the instruments mostly function, and a new battery has been installed. This 4CV presents as a remarkably honest and well-preserved example, showing no visible rust or accident damage and offering a delightful, ready-to-drive experience. This car comes with a valid Swiss technical inspection.
The Renault 4CV was France’s answer to affordable mobility after World War II. Produced from 1947 to 1961, it became the country’s first car to exceed one million units sold. With its rear-mounted engine, lightweight design, and friendly styling, the 4CV was both practical and fun to drive. Its lively 747 cc four-cylinder engine delivers modest power but great charm, while its compact size made it ideal for city driving. Today, the 4CV holds a special place in motoring history as a symbol of post-war optimism and remains a collectible favourite among enthusiasts who appreciate its simplicity and character.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
