Oxford Diecast 76RN004 Renault 4 Marron Glace, 1:76 Scale, OO Gauge

The Renault 4 had a great following, particularly in its native France, which contributed to its manufacture of over 8 million vehicles from 1961 right up to the 1990s. Classed as an economical family car, design options ranged from a 2-door pickup, 2-door van or a 5-door estate car complete with its opening ‘hatch-back’ feature. What’s more, it was very versatile and came into its own in town or country as it was comfortable, had good suspension, a reasonably sized engine, as well as the option of a 3-speed manual or 4-speed manual gearbox. It had a top speed of 65 mph. A cheaper version omitted the quarter lights behind the rear seats but this option eventually became the norm and the extra windows were fitted as standard. Our Oxford model is the 1:76 scale replica of the 5-door estate Renault 4, complete with quarter lights. It is registered TPX 454K from 1971 and appears in chestnut brown with a brown beige interior and dashboard. Exterior trim to waistband, window surrounds, bumpers and wheels is finished in chrome, which looks good against the rich bodywork, even the Renault marque is printed in chrome on the left hand side of the rear hatchback door. There’s detail for you!
