- Complete and highly original
The Appeal
While motor car ownership was by no means common during the 1920s, it was becoming rapidly democratised to the extent that middle-class families created a demand for more affordable, practical models. The Renault NN proved particularly popular, with its charming looks and capable performance leading to around 150,000 cars sold in six years.
This lovely example dates from 1926 and is in superb condition for a car nearing its hundredth birthday. Highly original, complete and nicely presented, this Renault awaits a new custodian, to preserve it for future generations.
