Renault's heritage in 1981

In 1981, Renault underwent a period of major transformation under the leadership of Bernard Hanon. The French brand, nationalized since 1945, pursued its innovation strategy while consolidating its position in the European market. This year marked a turning point in the company's history, with the launch of several ambitious projects.

The Boulogne-Billancourt company then focused on diversifying its range, simultaneously developing family sedans and utility vehicles like the JP4. This strategy reflects Renault's global vision, which seeks to meet all the mobility needs of the French.

Renault's presence in motorsport, particularly in Formula 1 , also reinforces the technological and innovative brand image that the company wishes to convey to the general public.

A time of industrial change

The year 1981 marked the arrival of François Mitterrand at the Élysée Palace and the beginning of a new political era in France. In this context of change, the French automotive industry experienced a period of particular excitement . National manufacturers, led by Renault, benefited from increased government support for their innovation projects.

This blue JP4 perfectly embodies the spirit of this era: pragmatic, functional, but also full of hope for France's technological future. Its blue color, very popular in the 1980s, reflects the aesthetic codes of a decade that sought to reconcile tradition and modernity.

Vehicles of this type accompany the transformation of the French economic landscape, serving as working tools for artisans, traders and small businesses that constitute the backbone of the French economy. Their reliability and accessibility make them essential companions for local economic development .

Today, these models arouse a particular nostalgia among collectors, recalling an era when French automobiles shone through their creativity and technological audacity, a period during which Renault consolidated its reputation as an innovative and accessible manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to understand the scales of miniatures?

Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.

What scales are available?

Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.

The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).

Does the model car come with protection?

Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.

How is my package protected during transport?

We package each order with the utmost care: bubble wrap, appropriate cushioning, and polystyrene. Your model car is perfectly secure during its journey.

What is the delivery time?

In-stock items are shipped within 24-48 hours. Please allow 2-3 business days for France via Colissimo or 4-5 days via Mondial Relay.
