Hi there, I am sadly selling my Renault 4 GTL after 6 years ownership as I am not using it enough. It is fully described and up for sale on ebay, link below: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171756479832?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I'll miss driving a Renault 4 (but as my dad...

Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 & numerous Brabham GP cars amongst others, owns an R4! http://grrc.goodwood.com/road/news/qa-hankering-one-supercar-wouldnt-unless-hybrid-monsters-hadnt-come

I spotted in the London Evening Stnadard magazine that Great British Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc owns a Renault 4, see under (naturally) 'Most romantic thing someone’s done for you?' http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/mel-giedroycs-my-london-8869455.html

Good pictures Cornish 4, I was there too with a VeloSolex in the Tour de France area. I noticed the vans were more modern ones made to look earlier, as all vehicles have to be pre 1967 inside the perimeter. The vans did look the part though, and so did the Renault 8 before it had a coming...

Hi, does anybody have any tips on how to stop the GTL engine running on? It does not happen every time but seems to be happening a fair bit.

Check out car number 62 on the entry list and good luck to them. http://www.endurorally.com/pages/participants-2013-peking-to-paris-motor-challenge

Hi, I am after a driveshaft for my GTL (nearside). Please let me know if you have one, I understand the Renault 5s (73-84) also fit. cheers Matt

Hi Richard, do you have a nearside driveshaft for a GTL still available? cheers Matt

Glad to see the car has a new owner and will stay on the road (shame you sold it though Will!). I used to own this car a few years ago, but sold it when I bought another R4 (which I still use). My avator shows me in the car doing some auto tests its in beige days! I've recently moved house...

Mine is sorted now (touch wood), once it was looked at in daylight it could be seen a pipe had come off!

When I sold my last one to a mate he removed the plastic and filled up the wholes, before totally repainting the car. It looked better, think I'd do it too mine but the car was resprayed by previous owner and I don't have a colour match! I've added go faster stripes to mine and changed to...

The car starts okay, but quite quickly the tickover speeds up a lot with no change of choke by me. I'll then have to put the choke in and it will then cut out under braking or slowing down or at any opportunity! It can be very hesistant and jumpy when accelrating too. Was going to try a new...

Morning, my car is not running very well, seems to be carb related. I fancy sticking on a new or good secondhand carb and then hopefully it will run better...... Does anyone have a carb for sale for my GTL? cheers Matt

Get any bargains Mike? I did not see any R4 stuff but was not really looking for stuff for the R4 as mine is (touchwood) okay at the moment. I think headrests are the only thing I'd quite like to add. I did get about the only mechanical thing I really needed, which was a pair of shock absorbers...

Hi Mike, I'm going to the autojumble too, will be there tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday. Get ready to walk miles round all the stalls, hopefully the weather will improve!

The Rodeo looks great fun Malcolm, I'm not being rude and its merely my opinion but they are quite ugly little cars! Still great though, and I would love one of them for the Summer! Dunno if you know, but is the single seater a Cisitalia?

I've always felt with these new interpretations of old models would be better if they followed the parts of the design which made those old models the cars they were. For the new Fiat 500, I felt they should have had a car of similar size to the original and put a 500 engine in the back of it...

I've had a couple, one a few years ago offering me a free engine for a GTL and another last year when parked in Sainsburys asking if I want to sell the car to give them a call.

Got the magazine in the post yesterday, so in the shops about now too. Theres a good one page column by one of the writers (Martin Buckley) near the front aswell as the main article. Nice to read. According to the stats a GTL's top speed is a mere 71mph.....

Hi Gary, most use the 845cc rods, but that may be because there are more around (or were!). Could be that 4CV rods have been used before too, but got too scarce? will let you know if needed. cheers. PS If you're in Lincolnshire on 11th June, there will be quite a few A7s and other vintage...
