Renault 4 (R1121). 1961–94 (prod. 8,135,424). 5-door estate, utility convertible; two-door fastback pick-up. F/F, 603, 747, 782, 845, 956, 1020, 1108 cm³ (I4 OHV). Replacement for 4CV conceived as a response to Citroën 2CV, which was overtaking the Renault in sales. Soft suspension for rural buyers who might use 4s on the farm; front-wheel-drive transmission and four-wheel independent suspension.
