About this car

The Découvrable was the semi-convertible version of Renault's rear-engined 4CV, with a fabric roof that rolled back over the cabin. The dealer says only 9,518 were built out of roughly 1.1 million 4CVs, so it accounts for under 1% of production.

This 1951 left-hand-drive car is finished in burgundy with a beige interior and has four seats. It has a 747 cc petrol engine and a manual gearbox. The dealer says it has been restored and was part of its own private collection for several years.

Mileage, registration and ownership history are not given on the page, and the price is on application. Further details are promised by the dealer. The car can be viewed at its London showroom by appointment.
