- Featuring a vibrant mix of archive film and interviews this documentary charts the history of the iconic R4. As well as hearing from the R4 enthusiasts gathered at the 50th birthday celebrations in Thenay, France in July 2011, there are retold tales of the adventures this ultra capable car enabled, from globe-trotting catwalk models to the student film makers and modern rallying youngsters. Dutch R4 enthusiast Bram Van Oeffelt shows off his outstanding collection of original 60s Quatrelles and we follow his on his pilgrimage to Thenay. At the R4 international event we see an incredible range of R4s in all shapes and colours gather together to celebrate half a century of the third best-selling car of all time and France's favourite four wheeler.

It was my first car and it gave me everything I wanted . I wish I still had it . 1977 4 RL in blue . Truly wonderful .
Such an awesome little machine! Simplicity is beauty in my eyes.
Best car I ever had - even remembering its UK registration - PAO 702R. It was red, with a black interior. High road clearance, door opening to a flat floor - no awkward sill. Carried my rocking chair (and other stuff) from England back to Scotland in December 1979. The chair stood upright! Such was the excellence of the interior's configuration. Nothing as loveable or charming since.
OMG We had a renault 4 when I was a teenager. I learned to drive in it. I'll never forget it. We bought it from a travelling circus clown. You could fit about 10 people into it. I think it was tricked-up. We used to park it on a busy city street and have people just pour out of it. It always collected a crowd of amazed passersby. The back of the car had no windows and had circus pictures painted on the side. People always thought we were part of a circus. It was a lot of fun!
haha 10 people in it so funny wow what a great car
My Dad bought one in 1994. It was an 1983 model. Despite a couple of hurdles, it runs just fine!
I learned to drive in a 1983 model... it was in 1999
My first time behind the wheel of a car of course on my dad's lap I was only 5yrs old back in Mexico City. 1974 Renault 4
Me gusto mucho este documental del famoso Renault L4. Fabuloso!
I had a yellow, pre-loved 4GTL and loved it too, it was great for going shoppping or on a camping weekend. This documentary really grabbed my attention, and I would happily drive an R4 anywhere, just for the fun of it. Cars were simply made back then, and easy to fix, so we weren't obliged to go to consult a 'garagiste' about the 'onboard computer'. Rust was the big enemy, but when I got a 25GTX in the early nineties, I discovered that Renault had beaten that problem. (What a pity the music here drowns out the commentator much of the time).
my fav... i wishd id had some day 1967 r4 green. r4 blue. and r4 red..
I Love Renault 4!!! I have one R4 tl from 1985.... I am from addis ababa ethiopia I like thes vedio

Linda. carismática, emblemática e fascinante a R 4 L!!!
Amazing...!
Excelente documental del r4. Me encantaría verlo traducido al español.
So with us in Germany, the R 4 was the car which was most preferred by small craftsmen and small traders, as small grocers and also bakeries were preferred. It was cheaper than a VW bus and more spacious than many small trucks from German production. The small Renault was also popular with hunters when the SUV era began and from Japan came the first small Suzuki four-wheel drive. Of course, there were already four-wheel-drive cars for a long time, but they were usually very expensive and had virtually no comfort on the road. Although the R 4 had no all-wheel but he was light and therefore exceptionally off-road, where he also had the necessary ground clearance for such cases. Unfortunately, the rust was the biggest enemy of this very good car. The engine, as small as it was, was indestructible and the suspension legendary. Even today you can see him, mostly in the warm season, on the street and at vintage car meetings. Although the R4 was a French car, it was also a German because you saw him earlier in masses in town and country. It is supposed to give a new R4 soon, I hope that he comes very close to the old R4 if it should be produced, I think he would then have a real change to conquer the hearts of the Germans.
Só o melhor renault de sempre!
Wonderful
Definitivamente un auto iconico. Nunca tuve uno pero creci con ellos. Algunos amigos tuvieron R4's. Esteticamente no fue un acierto pero mecanicamente si fue lo que prometio. No hay auto malo sino pesimos conductores. Este modelo tiene muy merecido su lugar en la historia del automovil. Ahh por cierto...para los envidiosos que vienen hablando y burlando porque este o aquel carro es mejor que el R4,..... pues llegaron al lugar equivocado. Es un lugar SOLO para los amantes del vehiculo. Continuen mirando otros videos!!

R4 forever and ever!
I had a white one when I was a student (such a long time ago 😭). I loved it even the odd gear change. Sadly the floor fell out through rust , I got it welded up and was still able to sell it on, indestructible cars 👍 I am into EVs these days so let's have a new electric one please
Fantastic vehicle, pity we cannot get them now rather than the bloated suv/crossovers that blight our roads today.
4L for ever
Nice car
Klasse merk dat Renault!!!
I like the way they transported them down the river after production. Was that the rust activation system. I owned a very early one with 3 speed and 6 volt electrics. It was too old to be honest and in poor condition. I worked in a Renault dealership in my school holidays so I got used to polishing R4,8,10, 12 and 16 before delivery. I wanted a 16TS......or an Alpine of course.....
Renault 4 Number One Car!!!
J'adore cette voiture elle est mythique et pratique
Nice...but music is too loud.
Muy bonitos los renault 4 de Bran
Also bei uns in Deutschland war der R 4 das Auto war am meisten bei kleinen Handwerkern und Kleinhändler , als kleine Lebensmittelhändler und auch Bäckereien bevorzugt gefahren wurden . Er war billiger als ein VW Bus und geräumiger wie viele kleintransporter aus deutscher produktion . Beliebt war der kleine Renault auch bei Jägern ehen die Zeit der SUV begann und aus Japan der erste kleine Suzuki Allrad kam . Sicher gab es damals schon lange Allradwagen , aber die waren meist sehr teuer und hatten so gut wie keinen Komfor auf der Strasse . Der R 4 hatte zwar keinen Allrad aber er war leicht und deshalb aussergewöhnlich geländegängig wobei er auch für solche Fälle auch die nötige Bodenfreiheit hatte . Leider war der Rost der größte Feind dieses doch sehr guten Wagens . Der Motor , so klein er auch war , war unverwüstlich und die Federung legendär . Noch heute sieht man ihn , meist in der warmen Jahreszeit , auf der Strasse und auf Oldtimer Treffen . Obwohl der R4 ein französisches Auto war , war es auch ein deutsches denn man sah ihn früher in Massen in Stadt und Land . Es soll ja angeblich jetzt bald einen neuen R4 geben , ich hoffe das er dem alten R4 sehr nahe kommt wenn er gebaut werden sollte , ich denke er hätte dann eine echte Change die Herzen der deutschen zu erobern
Agreed. If Fiat and VW make nostalgic versions of the 500 and Beetle respectively Renault would be on a winner with a 21st century version of this. Although I still prefer the 2cv over this, the R4 should be given a second chance. If they need pointers Renault could look at the Nissan PAO.
Renault 4EVER
I have one for sell. R4 TL Special (only made in IMV Novo mesto, former Yugoslavia, now Slovenia) from 1979. In excellent condition.
in 2021 the Renault 4 will be 60 years old
5:20 hope i misunderstand, but the R4 WASN'T the first PRIVATE car with forward drive - Citroen Traction Avant was. 2CV was the first affordable one with front drive. and i think Renault makers envisioned this car after studying the 2CV's market shortcomings.
I believe the Mini in 1959 beat the Renault 4 in 1961 to front wheel drive technology.
I WISHD ID HAD 8 RENAULT 4 MODELS AND 7 RENAULT 5 MODELS
Cest la quatrelle, cest la etoile.. viva la 4L
Renault should revive this car
i wishd my friend has r4 green and yellow
Donc, chez nous en Allemagne, le R 4 était la voiture préférée des petits artisans et des petits commerçants, car les petites épiceries et les boulangeries étaient préférées. Il était moins cher qu'un bus VW et plus spacieux que de nombreux petits camions de la production allemande. La petite Renault était également populaire auprès des chasseurs lorsque l'ère des VUS a commencé et du Japon est venu le premier petit 4x4 Suzuki. Bien sûr, il y avait déjà des voitures à quatre roues motrices depuis longtemps, mais elles étaient généralement très chères et n'avaient pratiquement aucun confort sur la route. Bien que le R 4 n'avait pas quatre roues mais il était léger et donc exceptionnellement hors route, où il avait également la garde au sol nécessaire pour de tels cas. Malheureusement, la rouille était le plus gros ennemi de cette très bonne voiture. Le moteur, aussi petit qu'il était, était indestructible et la suspension légendaire. Même aujourd'hui, vous pouvez le voir, surtout dans la saison chaude, dans la rue et lors de réunions de voitures anciennes. Bien que le R4 était une voiture française, c'était aussi un Allemand parce que vous l'avez vu plus tôt dans les masses en ville et en pays. Il est censé donner un nouveau R4 bientôt, j'espère qu'il se rapproche de l'ancien R4 s'il devait être produit, je pense qu'il aurait alors un réel changement pour conquérir le cœur des Allemands.
Ola k tal amigos renoleteros

For sale: good condition Renault R4 1973 (white), Original petrol engine, with genuine spare parts. restoration needed.
Wish there wear still cars like this. Modern cars are so complicated and looking ugly.
We had one in early 90's and i always hated cause it's so ugly and simple, but in fact it's never stops and not need to had much to go.
8nfortunately American car dealers wanted cars that were of the size and profit from those made in Detroit...I saw an R5 but never this..too bad...

N pl

Female rubbers.
Rather like a mobile garden shed, the 4 was hideous back then and its looks have NOT got better with age. I don't care if the rust issue was eventually sorted or it was barn door simple to work on; IT WAS HORRID. End of.
Renault cars are very Unreliable. And Nissan's reliability has suffered now that the two companies have partnered.
