1901 Renault
Serial no. 3
TYPE D
Same family for 103 years
Aster single-cylinder engine
Eligible for many historic events
Collector's registration
Louis Renault launched automobile production with the Type A in 1898. This first car was a quick success, and was soon followed by the Type B and Type C.
In 1901, Renault launched the Type D, equipped with a choice of Aster or Dion liquid-cooled engines. In 1902, it was replaced by the type G.
Our example features a tonneau body and the famous ASTER engine, perfected by Mr. Schrader on May 29, 1901.
The car was delivered new to the Bonnet family. They kept it until 1921, when it was acquired by a certain Mr. Vatan. It remained in the same family until this year - 103 years of ownership!
Today, this magnificent Renault 1901 is completely original, apart from the upholstery and tires, which have just been replaced. Functional and registered, this beautiful little car is perfect for anyone wishing to enjoy the wonderful world of historic races such as the London Brighton.
