Here's Szisz doing the publicity tour. Notice his car has the quick change rims.
Szisz of course became the official Renault factory driver after Marcel was killed in 1903.

Here's an interesting read regarding the early Renault racers and their link to America. It flatteringly refers to the car as a 'Supercar' which I suppose..it was. The text is in French or English, take your pick.

Echoes of Le Mans - 1907 Renault 35/45
If the inaugural French Grand Prix of 1906 was organized, as skeptics suspected, to showcase the supremacy of the French automobile, then things did not go according to plan. Of the 23 French cars...

Yes, having read right through the archives it seems that young men of today don't have a monopoly on risky behaviour, it's been going on for a long, long time it would seem.
I count myself lucky not to have had a powerful car when I was 18..... I'm alive!
...if you google risky behaviour of the 1970s you should see a picture of me holding the trophy. Just sayin'
Are you going to put in a bid?
Nope, I've got quite enough on my plate right now. But you feel free..
It seems that someone else has built an AK replica.. 
Quite a video!! Thanks. They refer to him as a restorer but he talks of photos and books and the internet - I couldn't make out what he actually started with.It seems that someone else has built an AK replica..

Lovely. Szisz on the first GP winner. Imagine driving fast on those tyres..... That car doesn't have the detachable rims that won the race though. Odd.
I reckon those leg coverings would get nice and warm and deflect up hot air from that huge radiator to help curl their moustache,s even more..
I think the above car is a setting for a publicity shot. Note the clean leggins, nickle plated steering arm and clean wheels and tyres. Also the perfectly clean clothing and moustaches.
This is what they look like when down and dirty..
Note also the quick change rims. It looks like they have both aged a tad in this shot which is a desirable outcome for race drivers.
