Renault Rodeo – other models: leisure vehicles on Renault 4/6 mechanicals between the Rodeo, Rodeo 4 and Rodeo 6, 1,390 to 1,400 cm³, 621 to 721 kg unladen weight
The Renault Rodeo was an open leisure and utility vehicle built from 1970, initially by ACL (Applications Composites Lyonnaises) and from 1975 by Teilhol, on the mechanicals of the Renault 4 and later the Renault 6; the body was glass-fibre-reinforced plastic on a reinforced Renault floor pan. This page gathers versions the register could not assign to a named range: the Rodeo, Rodeo 4 and Rodeo 6, the number denoting the base Renault model.

The register lists here 3 versions with four-cylinder engines from 1,390 to 1,400 cm³, unladen weights from 621 to 721 kg, gross weights from 1,105 to 1,220 kg and widths from 1,540 to 1,560 mm.
The Rodeo served a French market segment between farming, hunting and beach leisure, similar to the Citroën Méhari, and was built until 1987 before this kind of leisure vehicle disappeared from the market.
The Renault 4 and Renault 6 base drives the front wheels; for the Rodeo's open plastic body, that means a flat floor free of a propshaft tunnel or rear differential across the whole load area behind the seats.
On a used example, the condition of the Renault floor pan beneath the plastic body, rust on the load-bearing steel parts, the mechanical base of engine, clutch and brakes from the respective Renault donor model, and cracks or leaks in the glass-fibre body all count.
