1936 Renault Nerva Grand Sport - Lot 92

1936 Renault Nerva Grand Sport Indoor driving - 6 seats Belgian registration document Serial no. 734814 - Extremely rare six-seater interior version - Eight-cylinder in-line engine - One of the first owners: Baron Levasseur (according to the current owner) - Formerly in the collection of Marc Griselhubert (co-author of the book on Renault 6 and 8 cylinders) - Very little driven in recent years - needs to be restarted Introduced in the early 1930s, the Renault Nerva Grand Sport illustrates Renault's ambitions in the field of prestige cars. Equipped with a 5.4-liter in-line eight-cylinder engine and a four-speed manual gearbox, it offered remarkable driving flexibility and great stability, supported by an elegant, statuesque body. Produced in very small series and often intended for official or high-ranking private use, the six-seat interior driving configuration remains extremely rare today. Its current owner tells us that one of its first owners was Baron Levasseur. The car then belonged to Marc Griselhubert, a well-known figure in the Renault world and co-author of the reference work on the brand's six- and eight-cylinder cars. It joined the current collection in 2011, where it has been carefully preserved and little used since, now requiring a mechanical overhaul. Rare on the market, the Nerva Grand Sport six-seater interior combines elegance and historical heritage. With its pedigree and singular configuration, this example represents a rare opportunity for a discerning collector to acquire an automobile emblematic of the golden age of French prestige. 1936 Renault Nerva Grand Sport Interior driving - 6 seats Belgian registration document Serial number 734814 - Extremely rare six-seat interior driving version - Eight-cylinder in-line engine - One of the first owners: Baron Levasseur (according to the current owner) - Formerly in the collection of Marc Griselhubert (co-author of the book on Renault 6- and 8-cylinder engines) - Very little use in recent years - needs to be run in Introduced in the early 1930s, the Renault Nerva Grand Sport illustrates Renault's ambitions in the field of prestige cars.
