Powered by a 20-30hp four cylinder 4.4 litre this Renault would have been a very prestigous and advanced car when new, and has a performance more than a match for far younger cars.
Its first owner was Lady Cheylesmore, a Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Mary who kept it in regular use until 1919.
The Renault waas purchased by the Automobile Association in 1965 and bears that organisations private registration number AA 1. Cared for by the same custodian Dennis Bass since 1998.
This was also one of the cars that participated in the AAs Gaurds to Hastings demonstration run in 1909 an event organised to demostrate the practicality of motor transport to sceptical militaryauthorities..
