barn find

[jose]

hi all

Just been given a renault 4 that has been sat in a garage for the last 25 yrs.

its on a g plate the first time round.

got a bit of rust on one front wing but otherwise doesnt look bad.
The owner got a company car ( 25 yrs ago) so parked it up and its been there since.

Now i have never had one of these and was just wondering whta parts avaliability is like and if it sounds like its worth restoring.

Any veiws welcome

Regards
jose

Sounds like a wonderful find. I'd love to see photos (how to upload photos here).

68 and 69 were both good years. You get the semi-translucent steering wheel, all the chrome, and some nice seats. Also they had almost started getting around to everyday usability by then.

Parts availability is reasonably good and getting better. See http://www.renault4.co.uk/buying-R4s.htm or ask on the forum if you get stuck.
