The story behind this collectible...
4 Portes, 4 Places, 4 Chevaux
The Renault 4CV is perhaps one of the most underrated cars in existence. Indeed, the 4CV got the people into cars and put France on the map as a serious automaker. Before the Second War, the brand produced only luxury and exclusive cars but while Louis Renault's empire was under the tutelage of the occupying forces and the study and research of new cars was strictly forbidden, there were two engineers, Fernand Picard and Edmond Serre, who exchanged their ideas about what the car should look like after the war: it should be small and economical. Not only for the elite, but also for the people.
And it did. Orders for the 4CV were so high that people were willing to wait 36 months for delivery. Everyone wanted one and eventually everyone had one. At first glance, the car appears simple in design but was thought out to perfection during the war, during illegal brainstorming. At the time, the car was known as the all-encompassing small car.
Ours? A real one, all the way from France and exactly as the French intended it to be. Good driving, incredibly reliable and the right amount of patina. A car is there to be used and enjoyed. Not to shine all day in your driveway. A truly beautiful piece of history that, as soon as you take your seat, takes you right back in time. All ready to capture someone's heart. Hopefully yours, because she deserves it. Will we see you soon?
