Renault’s first 6CV, the KJ, appeared in 1923, but it was the NN, launched two years later, that would be the bestselling model of its kind. It had the advantage of a slightly longer chassis which could be fitted with 4-seat bodies, while the bonnet hid a 950cc 4-cylinder engine. Thanks to the recently built factory in Billancourt, Renault achieved a high rate of production, and more than 200,000 6CVs came off the assembly lines to meet the demands of customers eager for greater mobility. Renault promoted the car by means of records and other feats. In 1927, when Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic, a 6CV torpedo, driven by Lt. Georges Estienne, covered 18,000km in 36 days, with just one spare part ... a can of oil.

According to the production records, this NN left the factory on 27 July 1925, although its registration certificate indicates 1928, due to a typing mistake. It is an attractive torpedo on a long-wheelbase chassis; finished in light beige with brown coachlines, it was the subject of an older, quality restoration. The bodywork and hood are in good condition, as is the black upholstery, and the dashboard sports an elegant array of instruments. Laid up for several years without being run, this likeable car will need a complete overhaul before taking to the road.
