  • Renault 4CV (1947 - 1961) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault 4CV is as much a french icon as the Citroen 2CV - and it's certainly as important, even if its rear-engined layout eventually proved to be an engineering dead-end. In its 14-year production run, more than one million 4CVs were built, which significantly assisted the French working
  • Renault Fregate (1951 - 1960) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault Fregate was introduced to meet the demand for larger, prestige cars as it started to pick up in France during the early 1950s as the country started to fully recover from the effects of WW2. The Fregate was a large unitary construction car plenty
  • Renault Corale Prairie (1951 - 1955) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault Colare Prairie might have sounded exciting, but it was actually rather mundane – it was introduced in 1951 to fill a gap in the Renault range. It was a stopgap estate car cobbled togther from components in the Renault parts bin to sit alongside
  • Renault Dauphine (1956 - 1967) (Classics Reviews)

  • Renault 4 (1961 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault 4 was built as an answer to Citroen's 2CV, and clearly it was influenced by that car. But the 4 improved on its French rival by offering a little more room, a more conventional driving experience, and the wonderful added bonus of a wide-opening hatchback. The groundbreaking
  • Renault 8 (1962 - 1972) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault 8 was introduced in June 1962, and was closely related to the Dauphine. It shared the older car's rear-engined layout and underpinnings - and the big giveaway to the R8's origins were that despite being longer than the Dauphine, it shared the same 2270mm wheelbase. Although it seems
  • Renault Caravelle (1962 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault Caravelle was an uprated and facelifted rear-engined Floride. Renault did the simple thing, and applied the name the Floride always went by in the USA. To distinguish new from old, the Floride included smaller chrome strips, and lost its trim from
  • Renault 16 (1965 - 1979) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault 16 was an innovative and interesting middle-class family car that proved that Renault's front-wheel drive concept pioneered in the 4 could be scaled up successfully where the profits were much higher. It also could be described as being one of the fathers of the modern family car
  • Renault 12 (1969 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
    The Renault 12 was a catch-all replacement for the company's mid-sized range of saloons; but most notably the rear engined R10 - which by the late 1960s was looking rather out of step with the opposition. AIt was designed to bridge the gap between the R8 and the R16, and compete against
