  • The Renault 4L is a very popular delivery truck from the 1960s that has seen many renditions in the toy world. The Majorette company also made this model in different colours. Mine was lemon yellow with Renault's service description. I bought the car via an online auction. The owner(s) had played with it heavily. The paint was 80% worn and the front bumper on both sides was peeled off. I did all the restoration work and made the box. The box is based on the Majorette design, while the model on its cover is my restored car. I thank you for watching the video, I publish car restoration videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. In the video you can include subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity - press the letter C on your keyboard or three dots on your mobile phone.

    Great stuff I had one of those in the 70s. This Renault van was quite unusual for Majorette as most of their models had opening doors or bonnet etc but this didn't. Majorette made some wonderful models back then much better than the made in China rubbish of today.

    In Spain, these toy cars were given away with some Siro brand cookies, I perfectly remember opening the box with more desire for the car than for the cookies hahaha

    Stare dobre Majorettes z ich legendarnym, drucianym zawieszeniem 😃
    Po raz kolejny świetna robota. Naprawa przedniego zderzaka jest genialna 👍🏼
    (Zawsze podziwiam twój kunszt. Nie odważyłbym się na tak delikatne wiercenie. 😆👍🏼)
    Paul, jestem zachwycony, wyraźnie oba kciuki w górę ode mnie za to 👍🏼👍🏼

    The good old Majorettes with their, legendary, wire hoop suspension 😃
    Excellent work once again. The repair of the front bumper is ingenious 👍🏼
    (I always admire your craftsmanship. I wouldn't dare to do such delicate drilling work. 😆👍🏼)
    Paul, I'm thrilled, clearly both thumbs up from me for this 👍🏼👍🏼
    Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏🏼
    Have a great week to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😉

    Die guten alten Majorettes mit ihrer, legendären, Drahtbügelfederung 😃
    Wiedermal eine exzellente Arbeit. Die Reparatur der vorderen Stoßstange ist genial 👍🏼
    (Ich bewundere immer wieder deine handwerklichen Fähigkeiten. Ich würde mich nicht trauen, solch filigrane Bohrarbeiten durchzuführen. 😆👍🏼)
    Paul, ich bin begeistert, von mir ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼👍🏼
    Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼

    I like Majorette of this period the most, better than any other. The three-star-wheels run great and had the best suspension. The models were common cars, no fantasy, i liked that as a kid, it's cool, that you restore them so much.

    Ah the good old 4L. During the Sixties, the French roads were afloat with Citroën 2CV, 4CV, of course DS, and the Renault 4L. My sister and I played at counting each model passing on our own side, and we got 2 points for every car NOT these models 😊

    Excellent Restore Brother.... Cheers🍻
    Last Sunday I met a guy who replicate & rebuild these vintage scale models in resin with 3D printer.
    Saw couple of his builds too...But somehow the feel of metal diecast was not there, though he did add metal weights, it was too neat a job.
    Anyway the old school hand built charm & the addiction to restore, was missing.

    Lovely job! I had one of these, but with French Post Office (P.T.T.: Postes, Télégraphes, et Téléphones) decals. Majorette were very popular in the UK in the 1970's/80's - they made loads of really nice models, and of cars of the type that your dad might drive. These Renault vans were a common sight on British roads - some are still going.
    Lovely restoration of a classic model. Thank you. 👍👍👍

    Oh I had a toy like this, a post truck but instead of a Renault 4, it was a Citroën 2cv. The same color. It was the first toy ever that came from "western" countries. My uncle gave it to me brand new from a travel he made. The only other places to buy these were the "intershop" which were too expensive for my parents. They had matchbox but I don't remember seeing majorette there.

    aw, nice. ^^ the service renault fleet is growing. :)
    too bad Majorette never made the sedan. my dad used to drive Renault 4 up to early 80's. His last model was a 1975 model year, with the new flat black plastic grille, but still with the small front blinkers. then he parked the car against the rear end of a mercedes, and they had to swicth tho the late engine hood with the large blinkers with parking lights in them...
    ah, the memories. I had two of these models, one red, and one the yellow telecom france model. I must have repainted the yellow one a dozen times... XD
