AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

HIGHLIGHTS
*TL Savane version
*Original White color
*Engine with original code as shown in the logbook
*Originally built and delivered new in Italy

HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The Renault 4, also known as the R4, was a small car produced by the French manufacturer from 1961 to 1994. Thanks to its rear hatch, versatile interior and practicality, it became one of the most iconic models in European motoring, distinguished by its simple, functional design. The example offered at auction is a 1989 model and belongs to the TL Savane version, one of the configurations from the final Renault 4 series. This trim level features several updates, including a redesigned dashboard, a right-hand rear-view mirror and disc brakes.

EXTERIOR
The bodywork is generally solid, but shows signs of age and paint defects, with damage in some areas. The car is White, in its original factory shade.
The underbody has never been restored and therefore retains its original configuration. There are a few localised areas of corrosion, consistent with the car's storage conditions.

INTERIOR
The cabin is usable and shows signs of age and normal use. The front seats have been replaced with a more comfortable pair from the later Renault Twingo, while the rear seat is original. The door panels, headliner and carpets are in good condition. The console is complete and original.

The cabin has recently undergone a complete sanitisation treatment.

MECHANICAL
The car retains its engine with the original code, as recorded in the logbook. It has not been used recently and has been kept in a private collection alongside other cars. Its last roadworthiness inspection expired in March 2023. The car currently needs to be recommissioned: the engine turns freely, as do the wheels. Before its next roadworthiness inspection, the necessary mechanical checks and maintenance work will need to be carried out.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
