Renault Dauphine 1956 - Mille Miglia 2026

? History:
This Renault Dauphine ‘Vert Cendrée’ was delivered new in December 1956 to its first owner, Mr Momot, by the Renault dealer in Yonne.
Mr Momot used the car until 1978 before storing it at his home. It remained in storage for several decades.
In 2011, Mr Momot's family rediscovered the car. They had the engine overhauled and carried out the necessary work to get it back on the road, while taking great care to preserve its authenticity and original condition.
Very few examples from 1956 have survived. This early, intact and untouched example is now a real rarity.
FIVA commissioners confirmed the car's originality by awarding it an A1 classification on its passport, the highest category in terms of authenticity.

? Preparation & Mille Miglia
In 2018, the Dauphine was acquired by Geert Kistemaker, a young classic car enthusiast, with a specific goal in mind: to participate in the Mille Miglia, often described as ‘the most beautiful race in the world’.

With this in mind:

The engine has been slightly tuned, without altering the originality of the car, to ensure a comfortable cruising speed of 90 to 100 km/h.
The handling has been optimised to meet the demands of an endurance race.
The car is fully eligible for the Mille Miglia and is one of the very first to have obtained the 1000 Miglia Registro, a certification that is now essential for participating in the event.
Still registered under its original French number plates DA-107-VK, it was transferred to Belgium in 2021.
It is registered and officially accepted for the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Mille Miglia.
During these two participations:
The Dauphine proved to be extremely reliable.
No mechanical intervention was necessary.
It achieved very respectable results for a car in this category.

? Post-Mille Miglia 2023 work
At the end of the 2023 edition, major work is being carried out to maintain the car's high level of reliability:
Replacement of the clutch
Replacement of the radiator
Complete overhaul of the suspension
Overhaul of the steering system
Overhaul of the braking system
A bill for approximately €10,000 is available.
