I can't read the logo of what car this is on the front, but presumably with no radiator in front it is an electric or steam powered vehicle from Europe. The pretty girl on the hood has probably long passed on although the right-hand drive automobile may still be in existence.

I believe the car is a Renault.

Thanks, Bob ! Is this one powered by an internal combustion engine or perhaps steam or electric ?

That's interesting ! The side vents then likely aren't just for show ! Wink

@mikedetorrice in later models the radiator was exposed, very characteristic for early Renault's

I have this NOREV 1/43 RENAULT Type NN Torpedo 1925 on my watchlist. Not for much longer thanks to these great pics. I'll go through the sellers stock on the weekend an include it in a small multiple order.

Actually this post got me to get around to re-attaching the windscreen on a similar model I already have. Renault Type MC 40 CV. Is it Atlas/IXO? Nice model regardless.

Digressing a bit but this is my favourite 1/43 Renault. 1935 Type ACX 2 Viva Grand Sport
