PLEIN AIR
From RENAULT Workshop manual M.R. 61 4th edition page N-79 :
The Renault 4 PLEIN AIR, derived from the R.1123, differs from
the saloon due to body alterations.
These alterations consist principally of:
- modification to the top part of the windscreen.
- addition of side panels ensuring a rigid connection between the
front pillars and the rear because of the absence of doors
- the cutting away of the two rear quarter light panels and the tailgate.
- the fitting of a soft top.
the addition of reinforcing pieces and connecting gussets,
spot welded or gas welded together, gives this assembly sufficient
rigidity to prevent possible distortion arising from hard use.
