Fitted with electronic ignition Launched in 1947, the Renault 4CV quickly became the emblem of the popular French automobile.
In 1952, it benefited from slight mechanical evolutions and was already firmly established on the market thanks to its reliability and economy.
The 4CV represents the post-war spirit: mobility for all, compactness and accessible engineering, while retaining a touch of charm and originality.
At the heart of the Renault 4CV is the famous Billancourt engine, a water-cooled, inline 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 747 cm.
Developed at Renault's Billancourt plant, this engine symbolizes post-war French ingenuity: compact, reliable and easy to maintain.
Its rear-mounted design provides efficient traction and ideal handling for the narrow, winding roads of the 50s.
This rare RHD example, is 1 of just 16 produced at Renault's Acton factory in London that are believed to still remain today and was first UK registered in November 1954.
