The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1985 Renault 4 GTL
Just four owners from new and 145 miles covered in past 18 years
Registration - C542 WFX
Chassis No. - VF11128000G0502925C
M.O.T. - 14 May 2025
Odometer - TBC
This charming 1985 Renault 4 GTL is a real rarity, having had just four owners from new. The third keeper owned the car for nearly 24 years, and the vendor has owned it for nearly nine years. MOT records show that 'C542 WFX' has covered just 145 miles in the past 18 years. Today, the odometer reads a mere 60,192 miles. Registered in August 1985, this high-grade Renault 4 GTL has the 1108cc four-cylinder engine, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. The interior is trimmed in a vibrant red and blue, which looks to be in good condition. It even has the original supplying dealer sticker in the rear window – and a retro WWF ‘panda’ sticker! It has the original owner’s manual too, and the V5.
The Renaut 4 was introduced in 1961 as a roomy four-door family car. It really was a matter of right car, right time, with sales immediately thriving in France and beyond. It took just five years for production to hit the one million mark, and the R4 went on to sell more than eight million models. It was conceived as Renault’s answer to the Citroen 2CV, with the firm using advances in engineering to create a larger, more comfortable and well-rounded machine. As with the Citroen, suspension was soft and ultra-comfortable. While the car was evolved over the years to add more power and better interior features, the core design remained unchanged, which has helped it achieve legendary status today.
In summary:
- Desirable Renault 4 GTL
- Just four owners since new
Plenty of original features and details
