Advertisements by others than Renault

Other brands have tried to take advantage of the reputation of the 4L by using it prominently in their own advertisements, sometimes jointly with Renault. Surprisingly, not only car-related brands like Shell, Elf and Havoline (lubrificants), Goodyear, Europcars and O.R. (I believe a car insurance company) did this, but also a seller of sweets and beverages like Pschitt, and Philips and Schneider (radio and television). And, as can be expected, there are two by Joustra and Dinky Toys ('Already as dinky toy - the new Renault 4L').

This one by Philips is very tongue-in-cheek; they merged the 4CV with the 4L and cunningly remark 'There is something not right.. in a new car belongs a new radio'

Lastly, in Germany, Gauloises and Drum were active. In two contests organised by Gauloises (1975) and Drum (1982) allegedly one could win an F4 or an F6 (with built-in coffee machine!):
