According to Wikipedia, the Renault 4 was the World's first mass production hatchback. It was also the first front wheel drive Renault, so it has a place in motoring history. In 1976 a schoolfriend had one, blue and already a bit ancient. This one has been perfectly restored, even the interior upholstery was spotless.
With the gear stick on the dash, I think, A friend had one we called it the gink, can;'t remember why. I had a Renault 5 about 1983 it was Agate green I remember because I bought enough of it to cover the rust that seemed to appear daily. Thanks for the memory and the laugh..
