Today at the Tokyo Nostalgic Car Show I came across this Hino / Renault 4CV built 1958 in very good condition. The owner was an old man who originally bought it back in 1958 and kept it all these years…now because of his age and sickness, he decided to sell it. The asking price is 3,3 Million yen. I had a hard time to resist!
The car has an interesting history, in 1953 Hino Motors Ltd. known today as a maker of heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks, tied up with Renault of France and began the local production of the Renault 4CV under its brand “Hino” in Japan. A lengthy documentation with historic pictures can be found here.
