Fiat 500 Beach Bomber or a Castagna-creature is fun, but also very Italian. That you go as a chauvinistic Frenchman, of course, do not drive. A Renault 4-strandwaggie on the other hand…

The Renault 4 is perhaps the most legendary French all-rounder ever. The car, which is a very long productiespanne knew, especially excels in versatility, and you have to considerably do your best to make him the piece to get. The car has the advantage that there are zero electronics on board, and what you don’t have also can’t fail.

In the ’60s came to Renault (via its subsidiary Sinpar) with the 4 Plein Air on the gpu. The name says it all: this was a Four without a roof, who had to compete with the Mehari of competitor Citroën, also a cultauto.

Except Sinpar were plenty of other carroseriebouwers with the Renault 4. So you made the unfortunately now-defunct Heuliez 1980 Renault R4 Decouvrable décapotée, and there are also images available of a Renault 4L Ghia Jolly.

The cheerful beach-instance bauke123 in the port of St. Tropez spotted here most of the way, but we have our hand in the fire to cross that Ghia is indeed responsible for the car. What does like a pole above water is that it is a fun and light-hearted classic. View the photos on junk de l’automobile!
