1981 French Renault 4 R4 Van For Sale

Offered For Sale is my 1981 French Registered Renault 4 Van, being sold as a Restoration Project.

After returning last September from our road trip returning with a Peugeot J9 I had spotted many Renault 4's in gardens and on farms across France.

I started to look at found this on the South Coast of England having been imported by a collector in 2017.

Originally from Rigault in France there is little history on the van whilst in France.

Whilst in the UK and prior to my ownership work was started to re-commission it for the road. Brakes had been gone through as had the running gear.

When I collected it I drove it around on private land to check it over and returned with it on a trailer to the Midlands.

Engine & Running Gear: Checking the numbers this is fitted with an early and rare 782cc Dauphine engine and 4 speed box both ran well but since storing it I can now no longer starts, I haven't spent any time other than charging the battery. to ascertain why this now doesn't start. The clutch and gearbox worked well when tested and remain free and with good pressure respectively. Brakes are free with good pedal pressure also.

Exterior. Solid bodywork which has signs of previous repair including scuttle panel, replacement bonnet and wing. Some small areas with filler, repairs to bents not rot. There has been agricultural repairs previously to the rear inner arches adjacent to the load floor, inner sills and various other areas. The rear door has received repair also, I have acquired a good original replacement part which will be included in the sale. The front floor requires repair patches but not full replacement like some. Rear inner arches are sound, there is no rot around the rear suspension mounts, an area prone to rot. Front sill ends require small repair. This van comes with the rare rear ladder hatch, a rare element to find on these and a superb feature. Inner arches and engine bay are in good solid condition.

Wheels & Tyres: Original factory van steel wheels, tyres on which will require replacing.

Interior: The cabin of the van remains complete and in reasonable condition with all elements working as they should. Good black vinyl seats, door cards complete but aged.

These are becoming rare and are starting to attracting higher prices for vans in all conditions. This is an honest van with some work started but goes require work to complete before acquiring a UK MOT and then registering so has been listed at a value in accordance with the work I feel is required.

Offered as a Classified Listing to ensure the van is viewed prior to purchase. Close offers considered only when discussed in person and after you have assessed all elements of the van.

Genuine interest only, my time outside of work is important me.

Funds must be received in full and if not cash any transfer must be cleared prior to the vehicle being released. I do have access to a trailer and can offer a delivery service depending on distance with an additional cost agreed prior to any completion of sale.

The Van will come with all relevant French ownership documentation. It was registered with VOSA prior to my purchase and remains on the system.


Viewing is in Leicester by prior appointment only as it is in dry storage.

Thanks for looking.
