A History lesson at Blanchardstown Renault - July 2005

A surprise guest has just arrived into Blanchardstown Renault. The original 16-Renault Type N G Series will be staying for the next three months. With a break speed of 10 HP and a top speed of 55 km/h, it is fair to say the Renault range has come along way in terms of style and performance.

This car, was first the property of Wolfgang Prinz and was originally registered in Austria.

After spending some time displayed in an Austrian museum, the car was acquired by its current owner by auction in October 2003.

Since this car’s restoration, it has, today been repainted in the French colours, (clear blue), in honour of the Centenary celebrations of the Gordon Bennet Group.

The car is on view in the main showroom and will be for the next three months.
