I’ve been a passenger in one many years ago. What I remember of it is the gear lever growing out of the dash.

I suppose you a r e a w a r e o f t h e f a c t that the Marreau brothers’ Renault 4 f e a t u r e d a Sinpar conversion... meaning it was four-wheel drive? I t a l s o h a d a R e n a u l t 5 A l p i n e e n g i n e ( s t o c k , t h o s e w e r e g o o d f o r a l i t tle more than 9 0 p o n i e s , b u t t h e i r s r e a c h ed 140 ).

Over the years the Marreaus competed in t h e P a r i s - D a k a r with a number of Renault products converted to four-wheel drive. Most famously, a Renault 20 (with a t u r b o c h a r g e d e n g i n e ; they won in 198 2 ) and, later , l e s s s u c c e s s f u l l y , w ith a Renault 18 Break (estate), a l s o f i t t e d w i t h a t u r b o e n g ine.
