1907 Renault Model XB Navigation
Louis Renault left his draughtsman's job at Delaunay-Belleville in 1897 to create his own car: the 1898 Renault Type A, an innovative and well-designed voiturette built at his family home in Boulogne-Billancourt. From that single car, Renault's industrial empire grew quickly. In 1905 the Type X was introduced; it had a 3-liter, 4-cylinder engine and was offered in three chassis lengths.
According to Labourdette archives, the Transformable Landaulet on this long-chassis Renault Type XB was ordered by a Mr. Santa Maria of Paris. It was described as being 'specially prepared for city use,' with the enclosed rear compartment intended for just two people. Santa Maria sold the car in 1919, and it was imported into Switzerland where it remained, carefully stored in a garage, until 2018. It was acquired by its current owner in 2019 and after much cleaning and careful renovation, this time capsule of a car was brought back to life and shown at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
