The base model was used by the French Gendarmerie from 1961 and the S' Tafette was initially produced in midnight blue, almost black, color before changing to medium blue or French blue in 1969. The last vehicles entered the units in 1981, almost at the same time as the first RENAULT Trafic. A total of 12,255 estafettes were deployed by the gendarmerie.
RENAULT 4TL:
The French government chose the 4L in 1962. Presented in 1963, the car was described as revolutionary, but also easy to maintain and economical, and perfectly met the needs of the gendarmerie. The 1978 model proposed here had a 1108cc engine with 34 DIN hp and a well-ratio four-speed gearbox. The gendarmerie had used almost 14,000 pieces of the 4L. The last 4L of the Gendarmerie was handed over to the Célestins district of Paris in June 1993.
Present on every French road and at every crossroads for more than three decades, the 4L and the Estafette ensured the smooth functioning of a society that had become that of the automobile.
