Chassis n°136 411 Engine n°137 146 French registration document The model presented is an RM Saloon type introduced in March 1930.
It was purchased new by a Geneva police brigadier from SA Perrot, Duval et Compagnie located at 12, rue du General Dufour in Geneva (purchase invoice present).
It then crossed the border in 1936 and remained in France, in the hands of Charles Vernay, carpenter from Challex until 1961, when it was acquired by Jean Tua.
It will then be restored by the Richard de Genève bodywork and exhibited in the Jean Tua museum.
In 2005, the museum was forced to leave the premises it occupied and the collection was dispersed.
“My cars will go to true enthusiasts who will know how to preserve and appreciate them,” Jean Tua said at the time.
It was on this occasion that the current owner acquired it; he spent lavishly and had the car completely reworked between 2005 and 2008, the engine, in particular, being completely rebuilt by an engine manufacturer in Zurich.
