Renault R 2106 (1968): compact delivery van with 608 kg kerb weight, 2,380 mm wheelbase, 1,500 mm width and four-cylinder engine
Renault is one of the long-established French car manufacturers and, during the 1960s, was alongside Citroën and Peugeot one of the major suppliers of compact commercial vehicles in Europe. The R 2106 model recorded here, from 1968, ranks among the smallest vehicles of its time in the light commercial segment given its dimensions.

At 608 kg kerb weight, 2,380 mm wheelbase and 1,500 mm width, this is a very compact, lightweight vehicle, markedly smaller than the large panel vans such as the later Renault Master. The four-cylinder engine matches the small-displacement engine type common in small delivery vans of that era, offering modest power at low weight.
Light delivery vans of this size from the 1960s fall, by today's classification, into EU category N1 and were used for carrying small quantities of goods in urban delivery work. Their low kerb weight combined with compact outer dimensions made them agile on narrow inner-city streets, though also more exposed to crosswinds and uneven loading than larger vehicles.
On a vehicle of this age, rust-free floor pans, sills and wheel arches come first, since bodies of this generation were built without galvanising. Brakes, brake lines and the rubber bushings of the front axle should generally be renewed or at least closely inspected given the vehicle's age. Spare-parts supply should be expected to involve long waits and parts remanufactured through the classic-car trade, since original parts for a vehicle of this model year are barely available new any more.
