1986 Renault 4 F6 1.1 from Netherlands

Faults:

Replaced worn driver's seat at 159.000 km.

New gearbox and clutch at +/- 150.000 km;

Replaced Ducelier ignition at 160.000.

General Comments:

Great fun to drive; very roomy (it's the van version); incredibly cheap to own (parts, insurance, road-tax).

Might trade it in for a 70's TL or F4 if I find one as good as this F6.

1986 Renault 4 GTL 1.1 from UK and Ireland

Faults:

Stiff clutch cable, inlet manifold leaking.

General Comments:

This car is so easy to work on and the parts are getting very cheap (£30 for a genuine complete exhaust!) Great fun to drive, especially in the corners. Could do with more power to make the most of good, fun road holding.
