This Type A production model is thought to be the oldest Renault in existence. Renault were among the pioneers of the front engine,
rear-wheel drive layout with propeller shaft and rear differential that would dominate car design for much of the 20th century.
The patented three-speed gearbox had reverse gear, an unusual feature at the time.
