The seller offers for sale this 1960 Renault 4CV Cabriolet, powered by a 700cc four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This white example is presented in the rare and desirable cabriolet configuration, featuring a black soft top and a striking black and white two-tone interior. In 2015 the current owner carried out a comprehensive restoration: the engine was overhauled, the chassis was fully attended to, the body was stripped and resprayed, a new soft top was fitted, and the interior was completely renewed. The paintwork remains in good condition, with only minor signs of everyday use to be expected after several years on the road. The vehicle is Belgian-registered and located in Overijssel province, Netherlands.
The Renault 4CV was produced between 1947 and 1961 and became one of the most important French automobiles of the postwar era. Compact, rear-engined and economical, it was the first French car to exceed one million units produced. The cabriolet variant was offered in limited numbers and was built on the standard saloon floorpan with a fabric roof, making it a particularly collectible version of the model today. Its cheerful character and accessible dimensions have kept the 4CV popular among classic car enthusiasts across Europe.
