Hi thought I would pop by and say hello.
After a couple of hours reading a lot of very usefull information on your website/forum I've just purchased a 1979 R4 TL
I had one lady owner, last month a good friend bought the car from this old lady that had to give up driving due to her age. knowing that I like cars that are a bit different offered it to me
registered 4/1/1979
It has TAX/MOT with every old MOT and receipt ever spent on it along with the ogininal bill of sale.
only covered 28,000 miles and serviced every 6 months some years only doing 200-300 miles between services.
He tells me she never took it out of the garage when it rained, It has had seat covers / carpet from day one, as you will be able to tell from the photos of the interior. the seats are tan vinyl.
The body has a couple of old lady car park dents, but nothing too bad
also the bumpers could do with replacing.
looking forward to some dry weather, so I can start using it.
My current fleet is- 1981 Lancia Beta Coupe, 1989 Lancia Prisma and just sold my 1973 Fiat 126. as you can see I like Italian stuff and run the Beta Forum, I have always had a soft spot for the R4, and after seeing one at this years NEC classic car show I could not say no.
I am sure I will need to ask some advise on this little Renault
Great forum
