Hi all, there are a lot of R4 parts that are not carried by people like Melun Retro Passion and Der Franzose, but they are still available and people can order them from their friendly Renault dealer....... Unfortunately, Renault in Australia have decided as a new policy to stop bringing in...

Early cars only had the lock on the drivers door and all others locking on the internal lever.

They're all loose in the top paddock again!

Thanks all

Hi Reid, I don't have PR 1125 but I do have most of the mechanical pages for PR962 for R5 which dates from 1974. I copied them at one point to compare with R4 pages. I am happy to throw them through a scanner and make a pdf if you like. There is a copy of PR 1104 on ebay at the moment, worth...

Can I have one too please Tomcat? info@fitzroylocoworks.com Thanks Piet

I am sorry to say Michelin seem to not be making 135 x 13 tyres now, and R4s aren't classic enough for...
