Registration No: DAK 760 Chassis No: 74554 MOT: Exempt1 of just 19 examples manufactured, with c.12 reputed to have survivedComprehensively restored by the TT Workshop in approximately 2005Part of BMW UK's historic fleet from 2015-2022 and displayed at various events with BMWRecommissioned by BMW in 2022Cosmetically detailed while in the vendor's ownership and now presenting excellentlyThe reputation of BMW as a manufacturer of sporting motorcars initially started with the annual ‘Eifel Race’ event, held at the Nürburgring. On the 14th of June 1936, Ernst Henne beat a field that included 1½-litre single-seat racing cars driving the prototype of what would become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time – the legendary ‘328’. The 328 would go on to dominate the 2-litre race class and achieved outright victory in the 1940 Mille Miglia. The fact that the initial victory of 1936 had been achieved only eight years after BMW’s establishment as an automobile manufacturer made it all the more remarkable. To capitalise on the racing success, the company launched a new range of models that would become the foundation of its reputation as a manufacturer of highest quality cars with power and style. The 328 flagship of the range incorporated a lightweight tubular chassis and a powerful straight-six engine with overhead valves and triple carburettors.Alongside the 328, BMW offered the 327, a delightful four-seater sports tourer based on a shortened, boxed, ladder-type chassis with semi-elliptic rear springs, a Hurth 4-speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes all round. Offered as a two-door Coupe or Cabriolet, there was also two engine options, the more powerful of which (the 327/80) utilised the lusty 80bhp unit from the 328. This engine was the masterpiece of designer Rudolf Schleicher and although only displacing 1,971cc, it utilised hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin downdraught inlet ports generating a very credible 80bhp in standard tune. The styling was again the work of Peter Schimanowski and lent itself to the two-tone paintwork that adorned many examples of the breed.Rewinding the clock somewhat to January 1st 1929, a former GN apprentice became managing director of AFN Ltd., H.J. ‘Aldy’ Aldington, was also a keen competitor. Dubbed the ‘High Priest of the Chain Gang’ by none other than Bill Boddy, his team finished second overall on the 1933 Alpine Trial. Determined to go one better the following year, he was dismayed to find that his Chain Gang Nashes were no match for BMW’s new 315 Two-Seater Sports. Thanks to financial input from A.F.P. Fane, AFN Ltd became the sole concessionaire for BMW in the UK during November 1934 with the resultant right-hand drive cars being offered as Frazer-Nash BMWs. This arrangement continued until the outbreak of war in 1939 when, unsurprisingly, it was rapidly terminated. Only 19 examples of the Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80s were imported and, it's believed, just 12 survive.Imported by AFN Ltd into Isleworth in early 1939 for supply to its first owner and road registered ‘DAK 760’, the 327/80 is finished attractively in Midnight Blue over Cream with Blue pinstripes. Possessing a real presence and displaying none of the stately Teutonic pomp normally associated with pre-war German cabriolets, but echoes the elegant lines of thirties' Alfas with styling cues that suggest the work of those ‘swoopy’ Blue and Cream creations beloved of the French coachbuilders. The story is continued throughout the interior with lavish Navy Blue leather, with a beautiful dashboard fitted with Cream-faced Art Deco-style instruments and clocks surrounded by an array of Bakelite switches and knobs. The folding Blue soft-top appears in excellent condition and the jack etc. are neatly stashed in the engine bay.Lavished with a full restoration in approximately 2005 by well-renowned marque specialists, TT Workshop, which included a full engine overhaul and gearbox renewal to the cost of some £17,000 before thereafter joining BMW UK's Historic Fleet in 2015. Remaining there for several years, the 327/80 was featured at various events and displays before the decision to rationalise the Historic Fleet was taken in 2022. Provided with a full recommissioning by BMW, the Frazer-Nash was then acquired by the vendor into his private collection, which does contain other significant BMWs. Used for events and shows during the vendor's ownership, the brakes were also overhauled by Norfolk Classics shortly after purchase, and now reputedly runs well. Cosmetically detailed by the vendor and then simply used and enjoyed, the Frazer-Nash now comes to market ready for the next custodian.Having covered minimal mileage since the TT Workshop restoration (a believed 900 miles), this exceptionally rare, examples of the 327/80 rarely come to market making this an opportunity not to be missed for Frazer-Nash or BMW enthusiasts.

Registration No: BS 8718 Chassis No: 6966 MOT: ExemptA well maintained example of the London to Brighton eligible 'Curved Dash' Model R with VCC Dating CertificatePreviously part of the esteemed Ward Brothers' CollectionSubject to recent works to the gearing belts and fitment of a Holley NH carburettor for better runningNamed after its distinctively shaped footboard, the 'Curved Dash' Oldsmobile was introduced in 1901. Featuring a water pump, trembler coil ignition and overhead valves, its advanced rear-mounted single-cylinder engine was allied to two-speed planetary transmission. Displacing some 1.6 litres (later 1.9 litres), the eager powerplant was reputed to develop 4½ horsepower at 500rpm and to emit one chug per telegraph pole. Designed to negotiate unmade roads, the Oldsmobile's sturdy yet lightweight chassis featured so-called 'Concorde' leaf springs and tiller steering. While the two brakes provided acted on the transmission and differential respectively. Over 11,000 of the three Curved Dash models ('R', '6C' and 'B') were completed before production ceased in 1907, making it the first volume produced American automobile. Reputedly supplied new to a New York City resident in 1902, chassis 6966 remained Stateside until being imported to the UK by renowned Veteran car collectors Daniel and Toby Ward one hundred and seventeen years later. Part of the brothers’ private museum until entering the current ownership via the agency of specialist dealer Tom Parrott earlier in 2024, the Oldsmobile was acquired to allow other members of the seller’s family to participate in the London to Brighton Run. To this end, he fettled the gear cones and trembler coil ignition as well as installing a new Holley NH carburettor and aluminium fuel tank. DVLA registered as ‘BS 8718’ and dated by the Veteran Car Club (under reference number 4276/2021), it is only a change of heart on the part of its would-be crew that prompts the Curved Dash’s sale. Repainted many years ago, the two-seater now exhibits a pleasing patina and is said to run ‘very well indeed’. The London to Brighton Run remains among the world’s most prestigious motoring events and few entries are more affordable than one of Ransom Eli Olds’ innovative runabouts. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, import paperwork and VCC Dating Certificate. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: 130308 MOT: ExemptFormerly part of the Aalholm Automobil Museum, DenmarkEuropean spec 356 displaying c.48,240kmRefurbished, retaining some original patinaSupplied with an extensive history and many original partsA fantastic, regularly driven iconic Porsche that could be taken to the next levelThe Porsche 356 was Porsche's first production automobile when it appeared in 1948, from their Gmund, Austria facility. The model designation crossed-over the introduction of the 911 (1964), with production of the 356 ending in 1965, North America still sending orders to Zuffenhausen, Germany, through 1965. The last revision was the 356 C and more powerful stablemate 356 SC, were both introduced for the 1964 model year. The ‘C’ possessed a version of Porsche’s 1600cc air-cooled flat-four boxer with a 4-speed transmission and with disc brakes all round. A lightweight and nimble-handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door, available both in hardtop Coupé and open configurations, its engineering innovations continued throughout production, contributing to its motorsport success and popularity.Acquired in 2012, this former resident of the Aalholm Automobil Museum, Denmark, is a European market left-hand drive example. It was brought to the UK in 2002 and has had just two previous UK owners recorded, the current since 2011. Condition-wise, there’s a mix of original patina on top, however, underneath it's been refurbished. In ownership, the 356 C has been the subject of an engine, gearbox (new clutch, flywheel and mounts) and suspension overhaul (new bushes and bearings etc.) and refreshed brake calipers. The engine has seen the addition of Prill 1720 pistons & cylinders, new valves and guides and a Prill fast-road camshaft etc. Furthermore, the Zenith carburettors have been overhauled and the generator refurbished, noticeably producing more voltage.To the benefit of improved performance, heat exchangers and related heater components were removed and the Karmann Konnection Sebring exhaust fitted, all removing significant weight, the vendor not requiring any heater in the summer months he has driven the car. Inside, the seats have been reupholstered, with new internals, powder-coated frames etc and enhanced with Pepita inserts, more 'grippy' seats which were introduced from December 1963. The original steering wheel & gear knob are in a box of removed parts. The vendor comments, ‘it drives well - notably since the suspension and engine were done'. Kept in a heated and dehumidified garage, it has seen use as a, as the vendor puts it, as a ‘great dry-day daily driver’. It’s now time for another custodian and our vendor admits he will miss it. The 356 C is offered with a history file, a number of removed parts and an up-to-date V5C Registration Document will accompany the sale. The aforementioned removed parts will need to be collected from Poole, Dorset after the sale. The cherished plate ‘DCJ 1A is not sold with the car and we believe the Porsche will be put back on its previous plate, ‘DUJ 204B’.

Registration No: JAS 767 Chassis No: BC26BY MOT: Exempt1 of just 23 RHD Bentley S2 Continental chassis to be bodied by James Young to their design number CV100Well specified with power steering, automatic transmission, electric windows and air conditioningVeteran of numerous BDC and RREC rallies and toursThe subject of over £100,000 in expenditure in its current ownership, now coming up to 19 yearsFresh from a complete engine overhaul with Overton at a cost of c.£30,000'In the twilight of their coachbuilding years, James Young had with these cars reached the pinnacle of excellence.' - Martin Bennett, Rolls-Royce and Bentley. In the 1950s and 1960s the Bentley Continental was the world's ultimate Grand Tourer, a car in which you could set off from any European capital in the morning and arrive at Monte Carlo fresh enough to play the tables that same evening. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their 'Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo's performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Although wider and shorter than the 'six' it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering had been standardised. Despite the popularity of the 'standard steel' bodywork, introduced when production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars resumed after WWII, a steadily declining number of independent coachbuilders continued to offer alternatives. Arguably the most stylish were those produced to clothe the Bentley Continental which, of course, was only ever available with bespoke coachwork. One of the most prominent of these surviving firms was James Young, a company that had established itself among the foremost coachbuilders for upmarket chassis by the end of the 1930s. The Bromley-based carriage-maker had bodied its first automobile in 1908, affiliating itself with a succession of quality marques throughout the 1920s and 1930s before being acquired by the Jack Barclay Group in 1937. Its factory was devastated by wartime bombing such that the company did not resume exhibiting at the London Motor Shows until 1948, continuing to offer coachbuilt designs of distinction on (mainly) Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis until the arrival of the unitary construction Silver Shadow/T-Series range in the 1960s. One of just twenty-three, right-hand drive Bentley S2 Continentals to be fitted with four-door sports saloon coachwork by James Young, chassis BC26BY was initially earmarked for John Rogerson Esq, however, it was actually built to the special order of Greek businessman C.H. Dracoulis. Finished in Glasso Green with Beige leather upholstery, extras comprised of a private lock to the passenger door, rear reading light, electric front windows and leather-covered steering column levers. With Mr Dracoulis changing his mind too, the Bentley was actually supplied new to W. Turner Esq. in 1961. Entering the current ownership some forty-four years later, ‘JAS 767’ has since covered some 35,000 miles on various BDC and RREC tours with highlights including: ‘Arabian Gulf Adventure’ (2009), Northern Italian Lakes (2011). North West America / Canada (2013), South East America (2017). Touring Sweden in 2018, the S2 Continental has since restricted its sorties to the UK. Treated to more than £100,000 worth of maintenance and improvement work over the past nineteen years, some £41,000 was spent in the first two years of the vendor’s custodianship, on the engine, steering, brake and exhaust plus the discreet fitment of air-conditioning. Another £33,000 followed with the last major bill being for a thorough engine overhaul carried out by marque specialist Overton Vehicle Overhauls Ltd in 2022 (c .£30,000). Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, tool kit, spare wheel and history file (invoices, hand-written notes, build records etc).

Registration No: AWS 382 Chassis No: 47K3177 MOT: ExemptBelieved to be the most original example of the nine 15/6 Kestrels believed left in existenceFastidiously maintained throughout the current ownershipOffered with extensive history file including two buff log booksUsed regularly by the current owner who is a member within the Riley RegisterRecently featured in The Automobile magazineAmong the prettiest saloons fielded by any manufacturer pre-WW2, Riley’s Six-Light Kestrel was an Art Deco masterpiece. Powered by a ‘twin cam’ 1726cc straight-six engine (based on Percy Riley’s famous 9, modified by Hugh Rose and associated with ERA) mated to an Armstrong-Siddeley built four speed Wilson preselector gearbox, the 15/6 Kestrel was reputedly capable of 80mph and was the last six cylinder Riley. Only nine 15/6 Kestrels are thought to have survived due to the ravages of time and special builders.First registered on the 21st May 1937 as ‘AWS 382’, this rare 15/6 Kestrel is believed to have been supplied new to Mr H W Haldane of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is believed that he would keep ‘AWS 382’ until 1947, and the second buff continuation logbook records that it was purchased by Stephen Wallis of Palmerston Place Lane. In 1955, W.A Angell acquired the 15/6 from Edinburgh Motor Engineering Co Ltd and he would own the car for the next 59 years, covering only minimal mileage in that period.Fast forward to 2014, the Kestrel was discovered and purchased by Riley Register member Duncan Whyte who immediately recognised that this car was significantly well-preserved and conducted a full mechanical overhaul with a view to preserve as much originality as possible. The engine was overhauled by marque specialist Ian MacFarlane which included new white metal bearings and the fitment of ‘Sprite’ specification camshafts from Kent Cams. When back on the road, ‘AWS 382’ became wildly recognised as 'the most original Kestrel left in existence' and has won awards at events for this attribute.The vendor, who is a senior member of Riley Register also, purchased the rare Saloon in 2020 and during his ownership, he has become well known for using it extensively for many Riley events. In 2021, esteemed motoring magazine The Automobile compiled an article about the car, in which it was positively described. Within his ownership, the vendor has replaced most of the ignition system to aid good-running, and describes the car as being in ‘very good to excellent’ mechanical fettle. He has advised the only thing he personally feels necessary to do would be to replace the original wiring loom. Confidently described as a ‘true connoisseur’s Riley’, the original leatherwork remains very much intact, along with the original rear window blind and stringing.Now offered to market, as the vendor has other Rileys that require a substantial amount of his time, this is an excellent opportunity for any collector to own a true time-warp that simply could not be replicated.

Registration No: KKL 847 Chassis No: B292BH MOT: ExemptA highly original, matching numbers example and just over 80,000 miles from newJust four owners from new with copies of much period correspondence and early service historyThe twelfth of just forty-nine MkVI fitted with elegant James Young 'Design C11' coachworkIntroduced in 1946, the Bentley MkVI was the first post-war Bentley of Rolls-Royce design. Rolls-Royce survived the war in somewhat good health, as it produced aero engines for the Royal Air Force, along with other engines for military vehicles. The first Bentley MkVI was delivered to its owner in September 1946, 16 months after VE Day. It was powered by a new 4.3-litre F-head six-cylinder engine featuring overhead intake, side-mounted exhaust valves, and an aluminium alloy cylinder head.The MkVI was also the first Bentley with standard factory-designed bodywork built by the Pressed Steel Company of Oxford, with ex-Gurney Nutting chief designer John Blatchley applying the refined detailing. The bodies were fitted to the chassis and trimmed and painted to a standard that rivalled the best coachbuilders. Custom coachwork, like that on this car, remained available at the buyer’s discretion. This was quite a change in philosophy by Bentley’s parent company, yet it reflected the reality that standardised bodies could be built in greater numbers at its new factory in Crewe, England. Through 1952, there were 4,949 examples of the MkVI produced. Both a lovely and stately automobile, MkVIs boasted of a separate chassis featuring coil-spring independent front suspension, quite an engineering advance in its day.Sporting handsome aluminium coachwork by London coachbuilder James Young, Ltd, chassis number B292BH carries body number 1911 to design C11. Supplied via Jack Barclay Ltd on the 20th February 1948 and registered as ‘KKL 847’, chassis B292BH was delivered new to Mr Charles Soukup, Managing Director of Richard Klinger Ltd. Described in correspondence, the supply of the vehicle to Soukup’s exacting standards proved to be a demanding task (correspondence on file). By October 1950, ‘KKL 847’ had passed into the hands of Norfolk farmer Stephen Farrow Esq before coming to auction in 2013 after some 23 years in a dry barn. The previous owner purchased the car at the auction and brought it back into road-worthy order. Recommissioning included repainting of parts of the front and rear wings in period-correct cellulose. It was subsequently sold via H&H in 2021 to the current owner.Fastidious with his motorcars, the vendor improved the Bentley further, with work to the exterior and feeding of the leather interior. The vendor has kept the car in a well-serviced, road-going order (documented on file), being confident enough to enjoy a tour of the continent during 2023. The recent acquisition of another coach-built Bentley has made B292BH redundant in his life, and therefore he has taken the decision to offer it for sale. It is offered with an extensive history file, including copies of the original servicing notes within the owner’s manual.

Registration No: SV 8458 Chassis No: 5X688 MOT: ExemptPreviously part of the renowned Casper Scharrichausen collection in South AfricaOlder body and mechanical restoration c.2011A perfect starter Veteran and is eligible for VCC events such as the Creepy Crawly run.Founded by Louis Renault and his brothers Marcel and Fernand in 1898, the first Renault design was a solitary 1¾hp De Dion-engined prototype, which featured a sprung rear axle which would soon be copied by many contemporaries. Large scale production was next to come from their Billancourt factory, and they would soon become the largest automobile manufacturer in France, helped by their susccesses in the great French inter-city races at the turn of the 19th Century. By 1904, Renault was producing its own multi-cylinder engines that would cement their reputation, with 1905 seeing the launch of the twin-cylinder AG. 1908 saw the launch of the Type AX, fitted with a twin-cylinder engine of 1,060cc of 8hp that would propel itself to 35mph. The AX arrived at a time when the general public were starting to find favour with the 'horseless carriage' and Renault had ironed out many unreliability issues thanks to a simple design that also ensured ongoing maintenance was particularly easy for those with even basic mechanical knowledge. The water-cooled twin featured mechanically operated valves that were simple and robust and the three-speed gearbox was easy to master. Externally, the AX featured the famed Renault 'coal scuttle' bonnet and rear-mounted radiator, which would be a hallmark of the brand until the 1920's. The controls were particularly easy to operate, with the pedals in conventional layout (clutch, brake, accelerator left to right) and they were particularly tractable, with the selection of the upper ratio achieving pulling power right from 5mph to top speed. These endearing qualities would solidify its reputation and would see production lasting until the start of the Great War. The AX and its larger sister, the AG, found particular favour with taxi drivers in Paris, and would find fame transporting troops to the First Battle of Marne - earning them the name 'Taxi de la Marne'.According to a note in the history file, chassis 5X688 spent much of its life in South Africa, and the first record on file shows it was part of the renowned Casper Scharrichausen collection, having been previously restored. In 2000, the AX was sold by Bonhams along with other vehicles from Mr Scharrichausen’s collection and was registered as ‘SV 8458’ upon its arrival in the UK. Its first UK owner was Mr A Pownall, a long time VCC member who would keep the vehicle until 2011 when the previous owner, Mr D Locket – another VCC member, acquired it and set about conducting a full overhaul of the car. Mechanically, the engine was overhauled along with other jobs. An extensive record has been kept of the works. Painted with Tekaloid brushing enamel to keep it period, inside, the leather seats were reupholstered to a high standard. It would take nearly ten years for Mr Locket to complete the works and eventually, due to ill health, he decided to sell the car and the vendor acquired it in 2023. Having owned and maintained the Renault, the vendor has decided that he would like to pass it on as he has other vehicles requiring his attention. Described by the vendor as being ‘very good’ and ready to use, ‘SV 8458’ would make a perfect starter Veteran and is eligible for VCC events such as the Creepy Crawly run.

Registration No: OV 2980 Chassis No: 4769CF3 MOT: ExemptExceptionally rare Hornet Sportsman Coupe originally commissioned by Eustace WatkinsCoachwork by Salmons and Sons in Newport PagnellHighly original example in its original colour schemeIn the ownership of just two families from new with current ownership since 1984Supplied with a comprehensive restoration between 1984 and 1987The vogue for creating small cars of big performance pre-dates today's hot hatches by many decades, of which the Wolseley Hornets of 1930 to 1935 are ample proof. The trick was to insert six-cylinder OHC engines of 1271cc into unsuspecting modified Morris Minor chassis and then provide them with relatively lightweight bodies and wheels to create cars with considerably more get-up-and-go. The ‘Occasional-Four Coupe‘ is understood to have been originally commissioned for Eustace Watkins, a London dealer of Wolseleys located in Croydon from 1906 and at one time was the largest distributor of Wolseley cars in the world. Eustace Watkins offered custom coachwork, most notably the Wolseley Hornet Specials some of which were coachbuilt for Eustace Watkins.Manufactured in 1931, 'OV 2980' was originally commissioned via Eustace Watkins and bodied in exceptionally rare Sportsman's Coupe coachwork with sunshine roof by Salmons and Sons, Newport Pagnell. Purchased new by the Roberts family, the Wolseley remained in their ownership until 1984. Requiring full restoration after being unused and stored in a garage/workshop for 35 years, it is a notably original and appreciating rarity. The late vendor purchased chassis 4769CF3 and embarked upon a comprehensive, body-off and chassis-up restoration, the chassis being fully refurbished before the original coachwork was renovated and presented in its original Fawn colour scheme.The mechanicals were completely restored including the six-cylinder engine overhauled, and the interior was retrimmed. Completed in Spring 1987, since then, the Hornet had been in regular use including trips to Retromobile, Silverstone, and Shuttleworth, only stopping for coronavirus and sadly the vendor's passing last year. Starting readily and running well during the photography session, the Wolseley may require some recommissioning. Supplied with a history file that contains the original buff logbook, notebook documenting the current ownership journeys, numerous previous MOTs, previous invoices and tax discs, a letter from the original family owner’s daughter, VSCC eligibility document, letter from The Automobile editor for restoration feature, and V5C. A highly original example with exceptionally rare and attractive coachwork, this Sportsman's Coupe has remarkably been in the ownership of just two families from new.

The XJ was available with a six-speed automatic transmission and a range of petrol and diesel engines. Noted for its advanced electrical systems and aluminium unibody chassis and bodywork, the XJ of this period was among the first for a mass-produced automobile. Air suspension was fitted at the front and rear, providing adaptive damping as well as rear self-levelling with computer-controlled ride height and suspension mode. Dynamic stability control as well as traction control were standard. Radar based adaptive cruise control was offered along with two-zone climate control as standard, with four-zone available on long-wheelbase models. An optional touchscreen interface controlled default settings, satellite navigation, the Alpine audio system, and Bluetooth telephone. Jaguar Voice offered voice control of many functions.First registered on 15th May 2004 and displaying some 32,400 recorded miles from new, this elegant XJ and very attractive example of the marque, was originally supplied by Appleyard Jaguar in Bradford. With a mere three former keepers recorded, ‘HF04 WGW’ came from a 14-year long-term ownership into the careful ownership of a retired doctor. The vendor extols ‘what a wonderful drive she is’ and further smitten, works in excess of £4,000 were allocated to the refreshing of this XJ, including work to the suspension bushes and a new air conditioning compressor. There are also new parking sensors at the rear and a new window regulator fitted. Other benefits have included a new battery, a spare tyre, replacement of the air suspension compressor and the rear ABS sensors. The majority of the servicing, including automatic transmission servicing, has been carried out by a Jaguar specialist. Keeping the car looking fresh, new chrome trim has been fitted to the front bumper, with the rear supplied. The vendor has had the car treated with a rust-preventing coating. Benefitting from a recent service ready for a new keeper, the XJ is offered with the owner’s book pack - including the stamped service book, and a maintenance file with invoices and the current V5C Registration Document.

RENAULT LOUIS: (1877-1944) French Industrialist. A pioneer of the automobile industry and founder of Renault. A.L.S., `Louis Renault´, two pages, 8vo, La Batellerie, Herqueville, St. Pierre du Vauvray, Eure, Friday, 21st August 1923, to his mistress Jeanne Hatto, in French. Renault´s French text contains multiple mistakes as he stopped his studies early and based his business success on his intuition, imagination and pragmatism. Renault refers to two kind of cars, and states `J´ai bien reçu ta lettre. Selon qu´on la lis par le commencement ou par la fin elle reflete deux désirs opposés. Donc je ferais réserver les deux types de voiture, tu pourras aussi voir un petit... à ton retour et tu décideras cela sera plus sage je crois. Tu rentres dans 8 ou 10 jours de plus on ne pourrait pas commencer avant la peinture donc pas de retard. Je te téléphonerais ou bien écris-moi un mot dès ton retour pour que je puisse t´appeler au téléphone...´ (Translation: "I got your letter. Depending on whether we read it from the beginning or from the end, it reflects two opposing desires. So I will book both types of car, you will also be able to see a little... on your return and then you will decide, that will be wiser I think. You return is in 8 or 10 days and we couldn't start before the painting so no delay. I will call you or write me a note when you get back so I can call you on the phone...") The letter is written to the first and fourth page, allowing full display of the letter. Accompanied by the original envelope, addressed to Mademoiselle Jeanne Hatto, Roquemaure, Gard, postmarked and stamped. Extremely small overall creasing, otherwise VGJeanne Hatto (1879-1958) French opera Singer. Hatto was Renault´s mistress and long-time companion.
