The Renault 4CV was well due a winter warm-up having not run in a while, and as it was blocked in by the Dodge pickup, both were fired into life and moved outside a) to warm them through thoroughly b) to take photos in the snow and c) because why not!? d) see c!
I can't wait for the better weather and the classic cars show season to come along, as we're all keen to get out and about again in the oldies. There are a few prep jobs I want to do on the Dodge and the Renault 4CV before they see too much use, so those are pencilled in for the near future (greasing, fluid checks etc), and the Standard 8 now wants a check-over having seen a fair bit of regular use since being pressed back into service in 2022. So plenty to be getting on with at Old Classic Car HQ.
The Renault 4CV (as it was known in France) was sold here in the UK as the Renault 750, and was assembled from a knocked-down kit of parts in RHD form at Renault's facility in Acton, although I believe a certain amount of content that went into the 750 / 4CV was of local, ie British, origin. I have seen maybe a handful at shows over the years, including a rare 4CV van, but if you remember owning a Renault 4CV, or do now, please pop a note in the comments and tell me (us) all about it. I wonder how many were sold here in the UK? Going off the chassis number, our 4CV dates to 1953 although didn't see registration in the UK until 1954.
