1902 Renault 8HP Type G

Engine No. 9754
Chassis No. 489
VCC Dating Cert No. 1455 (1977)

Built in late 1902 this fantastic 8HP Renault was first registered in Gloucester in late 1903 to a Mr F G Marner of Cubitt Town, London.

At some point before the First World War, the car was re-bodied to make it look more modern, perhaps copying the Renault AX, Renaults most popular model of the time.

A Mr Philip Fotheringham-Parker purchased the car in August 1939 for the sum of twenty two pounds and ten shillings. The car was kept at his Mews house in London. His wife ‘Georgie’ drove the car on many London to Brighton runs, in Europe and at home in the UK.

The car was altered back to its correct original specification sometime in the 1950s when it was purchased by a previous keeper that kept the car for some 55 years.

The car has potentially completed over 65 successful London to Brighton runs. It has also been used on many European tours, the Teuf Teuf, Creepy Crawley and The Ellis Journey.

The car today presents in nice condition throughout, starts very easily and has been used regularly including the successful completion of the 2023 London to Brighton Run.

Capable of carrying 4 people up all the hills on the way to Brighton, this Renault offers a new keeper an excellent opportunity to purchase a car with a proven track record, nice history file and easy driving.
