The Barnsley family of Victoria BC Canada apparently were well off and must have spared no expense in importing this Renault to the West Coast. The photo was taken at Langford Lake, about 15 km west of the city. City of Victoria archives.

I think that looks exactly like it. Thanks! I was blown away to find an "early early" photo of a Renault here. The first sales I'd confirmed before were sporadic 4CV units in the late 1940s. Renault officially arrived in 1958.Nice one and thanks for thinking of us. Do you think it's a type G like this one..?

The side radiators are slightly different but it does look right, doesn't it? That must be one of the last with the De Dion engine, and it looks like a Type A derivative, extended slightly in length and with a big gear lever instead of the quadrant control. The second photo is a Type C.
Renault exported from very early days.

You didn't need me to say there was a clue in the background. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven that weekend.That's at Montlhéry
I still want the Nervasport.

I know a guy who has a set of wheels just like those.
Such a lucky man. Be good if he has a car to fit them on.I know a guy who has a set of wheels just like those.
Isn't that a fabulous saloon! When it drove past me, there was NO noise. I drooled, in French of course.
Of course the little brass naming plate on the 1903 type K didn't go un-noticed.
