Oxford Diecast 76RD001 - Light Blue Renault Dauphine

This Renault Dauphine Gordini is in pale blue with the registration BBJ 844B .
The Renault Dauphine was a rear-engined economy car manufactured by Renault in one body-style - a three box, four-door sedan - as the successor to the Renault 4CV, with over two million examples marketed worldwide during its production from 1956-1967. Along with cars such as the Volkswagen Beetle, Morris Minor and Fiat 500, the Dauphine pioneered the modern continental economy car. In the United Kingdom, the Dauphine was one of the first imported cars to sell in large numbers in a market formerly dominated by British manufacturers and local subsidiaries of American manufacturers.
