Renault Monaquatre

The Renault Monaquatre, Type UY1, was a small family car assembled by Renault between 1931 and 1936. It used a conventional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout with a four-cylinder water-cooled engine. Launched in October 1931, it resembled the larger Renault Primaquatre and shared its 2,650 mm wheelbase. The Type YN1 shown at the 1932 Paris Motor Show raised the engine from 1289 cc to 1463 cc, the YN2 followed in October 1933 with a more raked radiator grille, and the YN3 of early 1934 had a more aerodynamic body. By then seven body types were offered, from four-door berlines to a two-door two-seat cabriolet. The final YN4 ended production in 1936 and the Monaquatre was replaced by the Renault Celtaquatre.
