R4 Tropic Cabrio

John Doe · Jan 20, 2007

This is a limited edition made in IMV Slovenia, the car is from 1990, it is fully restored and the owner says the restoration costs were over 5000 euros, he already has an offer to sell it for 10000 euros.

Never seen one of those before. Looks much more sensible than the Plein Air. Always feel side winds would be an issue in the Plein Air.

It's strange the car still has the panel pressings for the rear door handles, but no rear doors.

That is cool, I like that. Didnt know they made R4's right up to the 90's

The last one rolled out in 1993.

Incredible. Was there any major changes over the years to them?

The only difference between the '83, '84, '88 and '91 GTL's that I've noticed is that the front seats in '91 GTL have different adjustment mechanism and the co-driver seat is somewhat softer + the older models didn't had reverse light.

Interesting... apparently they cut the rear doors' window frame and welded the remaining panel on the body. It reminds me of the cabrio conversion one company did in my country to the Lada Samara.

Hi all, I found this link by accident and want inform you that in Croatia exists two specimens of Renault 4 GTL Tropic. Appeal to JohnDoe if he can refresh links of pictures he sent.

Maybe someone can take printscreen and post it as a picture on the forum.

Better pictures of your car than random car on internet.
Have you more information about your babe.
Looks very pretty

Do the back doors still open or are they welded shut for rigidity?

Jaso · Feb 21, 2022

can be opened ... this form of chassis was manufactured in IMV from the pick-up/van version ... so far it seems that my babe is only specimen produced ...

Jaso · Feb 21, 2022

maybe better expression is compiled than manufactured ...
