Hi Ryan, They are still available yes! I'll send you a PM.

Twingos are getting more expensive although the most valuable are the earliest 1993ish cars in launch colours with the right options (full length fabric sunroof) which will be somewhere around £4k-£5k upwards for a very, very good one.

Yes, still here!

Bump! Still available!

Speaking to Brian is good advice as he has imported a few although he does own a car transporter so doesn't need to drive them back. That said, insurance is very difficult - I tried to do it a couple of years ago and its near impossible. Very few insurance companies will even entertain the idea...

Continuing my clear out of things I'll probably not use... 4 x 5.5 (ie slightly wider) Fergat Wheels. I bought these of a guy down south somewhere who bought them new thinking they would fit an R12 (they don't). He had painted them but obviously not used them. I fitted a lovely set of Pirelli...

Having a bit of a clearout, had this a while and probably won't use it so rather than it sitting around for the rest of time, its for sale! Factory 'Renault Boutique' radio console, some light marks etc (see pictures) but otherwise appears ok. Rare now and seem to sell for around £50 so make me...

As above really. You need a customs agent to do the NOVA declaration. Used to do them yourselves, now you can't.

I went. Was a good event although I was the only R4 present!

I wonder if it was an Irish market van then? F4 sales in the UK stopped about 1979, when the F6 was launched I think? But the Irish Post Office were heavily into F4s and Ireland is RHD so they were possibly built later? Intriguing either way!

Not really sure what its worth although easily £1000+ to someone who doesn't mind finishing the job off - and it doesn't look too hard. I'm curious though, presumably been converted to RHD at some point in its history and was a lhd van to start with as 'F' makes it 1988 and F4 vans weren't...

You're right, Brian and I don't mean to sound critical of it - as you say, any large show with lots of Renault 4s is a good thing indeed!

That's good.... I think? I'm puzzled though, Chloe posted on the 4L International fb page earlier in the week saying that they hadn't found a way to bring 4L International back so I suspect this is a different show rather that the one we know in a different location. Reading it suggests this...

Hello, Nice Twingo :) To answer your questions - beam benders / tape are fine for MOT. No idea on how to modify the wiring but have a look at the Mk1 Twingo owners group on fb, they should be able to help. Finally, Waxoyl the life out of it. These things really, really like to rust!

Anyone hereabouts planning on going to the above? - https://www.renaultoloog.nl/festival-EN.htm I went in 2018 and am thinking that I quite fancy going again this September (probably not in the R4 though!), was a good show - good selection of cars and traders and a nice venue!

Looks brilliant, Brian. I'd love to go, only trouble is its pretty much a full week or more of a job I guess!

1989 would have been one of these ones, probably the first, from Repro Vignette Auto -

That was rebuilt by Renault Reborn a few years back, think they used it as their own van for a while although its changed hands a couple of times since I think? They are in Lincolnshire somewhere so not that far away? I use Millers VSP in my F6 as well as Esso E5 (which is allegedly E0) as it...

But before Brexit, we were in a free trade area [the EU] and hence customs charges were only applicable to goods arriving from outside the Euro zone. It wasn't casual, it just wasn't applicable to goods moving within the EU. If you imported goods from USA then customs charges were always applied...

Thenay has the added advantage of being in France though :D
