Whatever the money that's a lot of well turned out Lancia sitting there.
These photos are from within a couple of miles of Simon. We stopped to pick up a bit of scrap corrugated side for Dog to weld into an H-van a couple of doors down. I know - Dog has OTHER WORK than for Simon!! 140 Citroen H-vans in a single yard... No wonder London is swarming with trustafarians flogging fifteen quid burgers out the back of them.
I took the early R4 photos thinking of Colin Marr.

Mopeds are interesting. I brought a 1963 Mobylette Blu (ripe for restoration) back from France a couple of weeks ago and stuck it on Ebay. 1500 views, 80 watchers and sold for £225.  Robin. |

I haven't seen a Renault 4 on the roads in the UK for years and yet in Sicily a couple of weeks ago we saw at least 10 of them, all roadworthy being driven as 'daily drivers'. I was wondering if there had been some local assembly plant there as there was some co-operation between Alfa Romeo and Renault in the 70's wasn't there?

Chris - I think it is just rust... Even where Simon is stuff goes eventually. I wonder how many in Morroco still? That early R4 was still solid, and I loved that translucent plastic wheel and gear knob. No chance for a two pack high build repair on that. If anyone wanted to bring one back then within a couple of miles of Simon there's a specialist yard with easily two dozen. It was interesting to see that a R4 is a rare sight where he is, you do see them but not everywhere and nine out of ten "in use". 2CVs on the other hand all are shiny "classic cars" often with younger drivers much as a classic mini might be in the UK. Pressed steel frame mopeds - what would the survival rate be in the UK? I understand the appeal - and did take a look at the Ryan Air excess baggage terms and conditions These Citroen C15 vans are everywhere, every now and then in a colour other than white. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_C15David |

Chris, Funny enough I see a very nice light beige R4 as I came past Woburn Abbey as they were turning out from the classic car show last sunday. David, The pressed steel framed mopeds survive very well here, recently I cut up the remains of a Raleigh Moped about a year ago that I'd bought for spares, a lot of it including the fuel tank was rotten but when I chopped up the frame you wouldn't believe the thickness of the metal!

David,
Thank you for thinking of me in the context of R4s. I may have put this on the forum before, but I have very good memories of my early 3-speed R4 from over 40 years ago. It was a real work-horse and I took it for granted and barely took any photos of it. Your interior shot is very evocative – the plastic wheel and gear knob on mine were more like rich tortoise-shell with flashes of deep red - lovely.
Here are two photos of mine from 1975 – one on the Pendine sands heavily laden with wife, two kids, grandma and luggage, and one after an incident when I was distracted by a police-woman on a horse in Whitehall (don't ask!), and ran into the back of another car! The R4 got sorted out and lived on for another year.
Colin

[quo 8)te author=Parisien link=topic=7148.msg50656#msg50656 date=1399580576] Just for you Colin.........you know it makes sense! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-12tl-/151296725106?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2339fcd072P [/quote] Frank, Not in the same league as the R4, my own memories of the 12 are that is was a load of rubbish, although others might hold a different view, I seem to remember that it had an afterlife being built in Eastern Europe when build standards of their motor industry were pretty poor.
