RENAUX TRICYCLE
c.1899 / Renaux Tricycle 5HP
In August 1899, Mr Renaux took part in the Paris - St Malo race, travelling 372 km in seven hours and eleven minutes, at an average speed of 52 km/h… with a tricycle. This was with no ordinary trike… this was a special c.1899 Renaux Tricycle featuring a strong (500cc) cylinder capacity and a liquid cooling system. One hundred and nineteen years later, this rare and exceptional machine found its way into a French auction house waiting to be resuscitated. We were fortunate enough to contribute to the restoration of this vehicle by producing the water cooling brass expansion tank and exhaust line.
