Founded by Louis Renault and his brothers Marcel and Fernand in 1898, the company that would become France’s biggest automobile manufacturer started humbly enough, with a solitary 1¾hp De Dion-engined prototype. By 1904 Renault was building its own engines - large-capacity fours at first, followed by the AX twin - and in 1908 introduced its first six-cylinder model despite Louis Renault’s aversion to such complication. Renault exported many luxury chassis to the USA in the 20th Century’s early years, opening a showroom on New York’s Fifth Avenue in 1909. The company’s American agency proudly described the Renault in its advertisements as ‘the car that will last forever’.
This particular car is built on the Type CC chassis - a development of the BX - and has a 3,560cc four-cylinder engine, cone clutch, four-speed gearbox, and wire-spoked wheels. The torpedo open tourer coachwork is by Million-Guiet of Levallois-Perret, Seine, a firm that could trace its carriage-making origins as far back as 1854. Described by the vendor as partially restored and in generally good condition, with correct engine and body, the car is offered with French Carte Grise. Featuring the marque’s trademark coal-scuttle bonnet and bulkhead-mounted radiator, this is a fine Edwardian car that would enhance any collection and grace any major concours d'élégance. https://flic.kr/p/2g4ewV1

Bianchi Tipo S2 Tourer - 1915 by Perico001 Coachwork by Schebera
The world automobile industry grew a lot between the end of 19th century and the First World War. Each important firm depended on the races to introduce their name and products; each one had in production sports cars and touring or formal cars.
The Benz firm was one of these companies and, beside the 15-liter and 21-liter racing cars and the impressive 8-liter formal cars, produced, just before the First World War, the 8 /20PS, a reliable touring car.
The car shown in the museum has an interesting story because it was ordered by an Indian Maharaja with this unusual and unique bodywork which joins the hand-worked nickel-brass bonnet, radiator and headlights to the Vienna straw details which decorate the mahogany side panels of the body, part of the interior and the large external luggage rack.
There was space for 6 people inside, thanks to the two folding emergency seats in the rear compartment.
The dashboard is full of instruments and the odometer has a mile scale; on the outside there is an air (horn) shaped like a boa snake, which was applied in later years.
At the beginning of the 60’s the car was fully restored with the technical assistance of the Daimler-Benz Museum; after being exhibited for over 20 years in two different American museums it was purchased by the Nicolis Museum in 2003 and has only 6.000 km on the clock from new.
