Renault, Boulogne-Billancourt, France.   This Renault, produced from 1908 to 1913, was one of the first mass production cars designed not just for the very wealthy.  It had a two cylinder engine of just over 1 litre and had a three speed gear box.  Relatively easy to drive, its top speed was around 50 kph. It is a 2 seater voiturette with torpedo type body.  Great to see this still going well today.

Rochet-Schneider, Lyon, France.  This mark produced cars between 1894 and 1932, and after that produced just commercial vehicles.  Their early cars were Benz copies.  One of the company's subsidiaries produced Zenith carburettors.  This was a luxury marque but after the First World War really failed to keep up with the time.  For a while they had a UK company and gained some fame around 1903 with some long distance runs in Britain including London to Glasgow in 21 hours.
