At the first Paris Motor Show after the First World War, in October 1919, Renault presented a new entry-level model, the Type GS.

With its 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine, this 10CV model had left-hand drive, a first for the company.
 
The Type GS from the collection, in two-tone blue and beige, is a limousine model which was the subject of an older restoration.

It entered the collection in 1996, after being owned since 1977 by an enthusiast who took part in various classic car outings.

He restored the car, probably in the 1980s.

Inside, the front and rear compartments offer two quite different environments: a hard-wearing leather bench seat for the chauffeur, and more comfortable woollen cloth seats with armrests for the passengers in the rear.

Under the bonnet, the engine is complete but shows signs of having overheated in the past.
