Curious. How’s reliability been with that? Haven’t really ever discussed much about the Euro model.

I've had two 4Motions. About 400k km driven in them. Apart from the normal servicing, I had to replace one battery.
Would get one in a heartbeat if I still would need a van.

The early ones (late 03 through 10) generaly only die of lack of maintainance - the post 10's the highest of the 4 hp raitings needs to be serviced twice as often as recomended to get much beyond 200,000km.

When I was searching for body pannels and I was 15 junkyards into my search (in France) I asked the junkyard why I was having troubble finding any, and it's the 2nd most popular van on the roads of france. The reply was, if it's not too badly crashed to be repaired it's worth putting back on the road regardless of what you broke - he also said 50% of all Renult traffics built in the same time are already dead (not crashed) and beyond repair!

Cool collection! The article needed more pictures and to spend a little time on walk-throughs.

Damn thats tight. Looks like they went through everything. Needs a bored out 1600 to 1883 and low pro tires but that would do. My 67 was an 11 window and i sold it for 500cad. 10 or12k and i could have gotten 100k cad apparently. All i had left to do was body work
