Condition: Roadworthy
A family saloon produced by Renault from 1951 until 1960. Renault needed to keep up with the competition from Citroën, whose front-wheel drive models had far outstripped Renault’s progress in the saloon car sector. The Americans already had cars of this size, powered by either 6-cylinder or V8 engines. However, the French market was not yet economically ready, and the aftermath of the war was still affecting car purchases.
This saloon had major advantages: plenty of space, and front and rear bench seats, which meant it could accommodate between 6 and 8 people if children were on board.
The engine fitted that year was the famous ‘Étendard’, which was durable and inexpensive to maintain. It was available in several versions: an economy version, the ‘Affaires’, and an upgraded version, the ‘Amiral’. Subsequently, estate cars and even a very attractive convertible were produced until production of this model ceased.
Condition:
This car boasts a lovely patina in its almond green paintwork and yellow wheels. It is well-equipped, featuring a windscreen visor, a Graduluxe system on the rear window, chrome trim echoing the Renault logo, and faux engine air vents.
The interior is equally impressive; everything is clean, and the seats have been reupholstered in brown imitation leather. The engine compartment is also in good condition; the mechanics have been overhauled, but the usual precautions should be taken before hitting the road, such as an oil change and checking tyre pressures.
