"Hello!" Celebrity Owners?

[Firstandbest]

I once heard that Pierce Brosnan owns a R4!

Any other rumours? Apart from Ian of course!

Just wondered who might also be on the campsite at Thenay

Kylie - do join us!

The Slovenian president of the Parliament owns a R4.


Here's an article in Slovenian. Yes I know, no-one understands, but you can look at the pictures.

We are proud at R4's because they were built in our country. Nowadays they build there Clio Storia, Twingo, Wind. It's the only car factory in our country.

Greetings to you and to your President, Godlike. We need some bumper stickers... "my other Car is a Renault 4"!

German TV moderator Günther Jauch (he is extremely popular here and he's the guy, 77 per cent of Germans would elect for chancellor) has one. He has sneaked the last R4 sold in Germany:

Ahhhhh, wonderful! Vorsprung durch technik I believe you say in Germany! He'd get our vote Just think, if he ever needs a chassis, your countrymen could oblige. And wow, they'd last for ever!


The true 'Peoples Car'!

Whilst searching for a cheaper version of the Renault 4 Raid 4L Trophy, I coincidently came across this related article...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/advice/motoring/2010/12/17/happy-birthday-renault-4-115875-22788662/

He may not have owned one but there's another fan!

Great! Top Gear next!

The Stig has an open invitation to drive mine!

... Would probably be the last drive!

That's so cool! Even includes a tip for us in France this year ...

"Keep off the autoroutes and trickle through the France of yesteryear on the secondary roads. Never eat in the national restaurant chains; stay in small local hotels."

Good advice Nick - just wonder what Lord Sugar said as you set off! Bet he was relieved to see you return safely!

Cheers!

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?'

Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 & numerous Brabham GP cars amongst others, owns an R4!

We do need to add the Pope to this thread too...

 

[Cyprus Andy]

The Pope has taken to hopping into his suitably white-painted R4 and driving it around the Vatican, to the consternation of his security guards.
