I thought the official name is Renault 4 F4 or F6. I don't know the difference... |

That's not a F4, it's a Renault 4 F6 ... difference is length and volume of the van, the F4 has round edge shape on the van part, while the F6 is more angular |

In West Germany, before 1978 and after it, it was called "R4 Transporter". 1976 and 1980 brochures: ![[Image: W84R4transRFN76.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/1306/W84R4transRFN76.jpg) ![[Image: W84R4transRFN80.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/1306/W84R4transRFN80.jpg) |

Are you sure it isn't just used as the plural form of the German noun Transporter, instead of a commercial name for these vans? Like "R4 Vans"? |

Would they (Germans) write it like that then:![[Image: transporter.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/1306/transporter.jpg) |

Hmm, it doesn't really make sense to repeat "Transporter" for the Renault 4. Perhaps a German imcdb user could confirm either theory? |

Well the original brochures are quite solid source though... It however does not necessary mean, that cars were badged like that (and this way - that weren't badged as F4/F6). |

The older French models were named "Fourgnonette", that's more or less the same kind of noun. But indeed most of the Google Image results are IMCDb pictures, and that one where the rear is seen seem badged F6: /vehicle.php?id=566810 So I do not know if it was just used as descriptive name or as real model name. -- Last edit: 2013-06-05 17:57:12 |

Right, from the introduction in 1962 onwards they were called Fourgonnette (in english: R4 Van, in german in 1963: also Renault R4 Fourgonnette). In 1976 the 'Fourgonnette Longue' was introduced. The 'Fourgonnette Longue' (in dutch: Renault 4 1100 bestel) was quickly renamed R4 F6, while the original Fourgonnette became R4 F4. Hanz (www.allez-y.info) -- Last edit: 2013-06-05 22:48:35 |

In some later (ca 1983) German brochures possible is to see the name "Fourgonnette" and "Fourgonnette Super" - for the longer one", but this way it is also to see in the French version, despite the car was called there F4/F6 for sure. For me the "Transporter" clearly is used as model name, what confirms the 3rd cover I posted here, what is also mentioned at the linked site. Also in UK, car was called 7/9cwt Van (later Van), despite it was already F4/F6 in most of other markets. -- Last edit: 2013-06-06 19:36:22 |
