Hi, my name is Hans or Hanz, as some call me. Some of my interests are my model 1972 R4 Furgoneta Sobre-elevada and my 1977 R4 TL, Renault 4 by FASA in general, and any advertisements and brochures about the R4. If you might have any not shown on this site, I would greatly appreciate seeing them, especially any Spanish ones! Just drop me an email.

This site works rather well with Firefox (and maybe some other browsers too) on a 1024x768 resolution. There's some javascript around.

Usually, it's pretty tidy thanks to the Firefox debugger and (no guarantee...).

Created with and (yes it is).

Thanks to, gracias, merci, obrigado, ευχαριστώ, bedankt!

Most information on this website is derived from the brochures and advertisements I collected, the Renault garage manuals 'Pièces de Rechange' (PR) and 'Manuel de Reparation' (MR), 'Renault Magazine' and the 'Renault Promotion', Spanish magazines like Velocidad and Autopista, books like the 'Album R4', 'La Renault 4 de mon père' and 'Vierkant Renault 4', and some articles from '4L Magazine' that I wrote in collaboration with Boerammetje. Valuable information about the introduction in August 1961 comes from the Gazoline Hors Series 37, the 'Essais de mise au point' by Louis Buty, and the stories of former Renault dealer 'Gudule' on the French R4-4L forum.

It took me quite some time and resources to create and maintain this website. I have tried to give credit to the owners of the information I used - most of all Renault for creating this sympathetic car. Let me know if I forgot to mention anyone. Feel free to use my texts (I wrote all of it myself - no AI on these pages!) for your own purposes, but please reference www.allez-y.info as the source of your information if you do so. Regarding the images: most are not mine, I scanned them from their respective sources, so use them at your own risk.
